This article literally appraises several fictional books. The book "The Coming of the Lord," by Sarah Gertrude Millin is quite prepared to accept it as an intelligent, competent, and not uninteresting picture of small-town life in the wastes of the South African veldt. Another book "The Way It Was With Them," by Peadar O'Donnell is a quiet, dramatic account of the brave struggle for life on a barren island of the west coast of Ireland. Another book "A Brood of Ducklings," by Frank Swinnerton raises no more pertinent question than the ancient one of how soon an author should be done away with after he has written the one good book of which he is capable.
