Parsons, Alice Beal | October 2, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses two books, "The Love of the Foolish Angel," by Helen Beauclerk, and "Five and Ten," by Fannie Hurst. "The Love of the Foolish Angel," is a tale of the love of Tarnael, a little angel who permitted himself to become involved in celestial sedition because he loved Lucifer, for the beautiful Syrian maiden Basilea. "Five and Ten" is big with an idea. A man who amasses a great fortune by the sale of "things" is eventually crushed and frustrated under the things his fortune brings him. One can see Hurst chuckling delightfully over the notion and then charging into it like a Big Bertha.
