description: Mr. Whittle became convinced that the end of the world was at hand. The second World War was over, and the prospects of humanity looked bleak indeed. But Mr. Whittle, though meek, was an idealist who had spoken with the Almighty. In the story of Mr. Whittle's attempts to prepare himself for the coming of oblivion Robert Nathan has written one of the most delightful of his novels. It is a book that will inevitably invite comparison with One More Spring. With the same invevitability this example of Mr. Nathan's matured art will bring pleasure and solace to the many thousand admirers of Portrait of Jennie, But Gently Day, and a dozen other well-loved and well-remembered tales.
