Lane Coz, ID a tale of joyous and adventurous
youth which takes one out OF the midst OF pres-
ent-day horrors back to brighter world long
since left behind: Robert Shenstone tells the
story Of his lfe-that OF country schooimaso
ter's son, who at early age showed the MAX
lnES OF a poet. The most exciting Incident OF
his career was the publication Of his first book
OF poems. followed by his experiences as usher
In private school on the outskirts Of London
teSperienees that are quite Dickensian in
character). and his encounter with an eccentric
named Heron. which proved to he the turning
point of his life. The central incident In the
tale Is an episode In the life OF Heron, and has
to do with the incorporation OF paper manu-
owned by Heron and his family for generations.
An exceedingly interesting love story unfolds

in fact--for the one is the means of unravelinE
the strange tangle in the life of Mr. Heron
which turned him into misanthrope, and in
story from beginning to end. The hook has
unusually original picturesque and entertaining
qualities.
