Think of the millions that are crying
for more novels. Would our TRIoGs be
known as the Caliph OMAR Of Chicago?
Historical novelists may use a cyclo-
pRdia of costume if they have the time ;
raphy or two and dictionary of obso-
lete words arc often useful to them; bu,
they need no other schooling. Why
are there no such works as Novel
writing Without a Master and Novel

they are not needed To folks entirely
