This article presents information on several fiction books. The book "The Intruding Angel," by Charles Marriott is very pleasing. A convincing trait about Marriott's people is their almost complete lack of the melodramatic strain. He deals with people capable of a high degree of emotion, but he is at pains to show that even emotional people do not as a rule work out their destiny in outward storm and stress. Another book "Kings in Exile," by Charles G.D. Roberts, is another collection of animal stories done much after Roberts's usual fashion. Roberts is fond, of depicting with absurd minuteness the supposed cerebrations of wild animals in captivity, and of domesticated creatures turned loose in the woods to shift for themselves.
