risiblc Man and The Wonderful Visit
and that epic of star-dust and moon
shine The FIRST Men in the Noon.
God the Invisible Hing and The
Soul of Bishop did seem poor sub
stitutes for such masterpieces, but
now on reading The Undying Fire
one suddenly realizes certain things.
First, that Wells has never had the
gift Of creating characteristic is,
he has been able on several occasions
to throw off very vigorous sketches
and caricatures of himself-Mr. II.
Kipps, Mr.. Polly, Uncle POnderevo
and the rest; Characterization in
the sense that Hardy and Conrad
have created Worlds, in the sense that
Arnold Bennett has given US the
Baines women, Hilda Lessways,
young Clayhanger, and Galsworthy
Mrs. Pendyee and the Forsyte family,
that has never been in Weiss genius.
Secondly, that Wells is a poet and
that the best things that he has done
have throbbed and burnt with the
poetic spirit-such things as the first
vision of the moon, as the last chapter
of The Time Machine, as the end of
the MGchiAreHi, as the epic fight in
Mr.. Polly, as the American scenes in
The War IN the dir, and above all in
the chapters concerning death and
disease in the animal world, and the
life in the U-boat in this his latest
book. On closing The Undying Fire
one dimly wonders why it has been
so moving and genuine, and here
when the three books that preceded
it seemed dull and in certain places
insincere.
In those three other books there
was never a glimpse of this astonish-

THE two books about which Lon
= don at this moment is
talking are WeIls's Undying Fire
and Miss Ashford's Young Tisi-
tiers. These books London has
quite definitely selected in a way that
London has, and although often
enough LondOn's selection may seem
from the point of view of High Art
and Literature very bad, there are
always good reasons behind it. On
this present occasion High Art and
Literature may rest satisfed-they
are not disgraced.
1t is not as though just now there
was very little from which to select:
during the last three weeks books
have simply poured from the press.
They have been for the most part
novels, and | cannot think of any
very interesting work in bellies lettres
with the exception of Robert Lynd's
admirable book of essays, old Masters
and NcW, Brand Whitlock's Belgium
Under German Occupation and Ed
ward Shank's book of poems, The
Queen of China.
But of novels there are May Sim
clair's Mary Oliver, w. l.. Georges
Blind Alley, Gilbert Cannan's Pink
Roses, Miss Delafield's Consequences
and Joseph Hergesheimer's Java
Head. Miss Sinclair's book is only
just published, Miss Delafield and NJ.
Hergesheimer have at least cqualled
their earlier successes, W. l.. George
and Gilbert Canaan are both disap-
pointing.
Cannan's PINK Roses is so poor a
book that it is difficult to believe that
the author of Round the Corner wrote
it, 1t has been attacked over here be-
cause of its subject: that seems to me
the wrong view to take. If Canaan
seriously believes that his knock-knecd
hero who thinks of no one but HIM
self during the war and quivers with
terror at the approach of an air raid
is the best type Of humanity now re-
naming to us, let him press that point

this book. And yet 1 liked every poem
in the book-they are so short that they
can be read between galleys if you are
proofreader. They lack the passion that
has been lived; they are literary loves to
literary sweethearts done on voluptuous

volume the words are beautiful.

New Wells for Old, and a Nine Year-Old

ing poetic descriptive evocative fire,
save only the flying scenes in Joan
aud Peter. There was only the jour-
nalistic, waiting, peevish Wells who
combines so untidily with the Wells
of this last book. 1t is beautiful and
memorable work, this Undying Fire,
the best thing that its author has done
since T0nO- BungGy.
The Young Visiters is Miss Ash
ford's first novel and she wrote it at
the age of 9. Many people are say
ing that Barrie, who has written an
introduction, is author of the whole.
This book is, however, no fake, and 1
find It difficult to believe that any one
can doubt its genuineness. No grown
up elder could combine so marvellous
ly the child's imagination born OF
nothing but dreams and the child's
knowledge picked up from watching
visitors and reading novels. All that
one can say is that Mrs. Ashford must
have allowed her daughter to read
more fiction at that tender age than
most mothers permit their children
even in these days. As l have said,
the technique is admirable. Adven-
ture follows adventure quite breath
lesSly - there is no time for
pause. But it is in the erea-
ton of character that Miss Ashford
especially excels. Mr. Salteena, her
hero, is admirably done. His first
note to his friend announcing his
visit should become classic. He thus
describes himself: 81 do hope / shall
enjoy myself with you. 1 am fond
of digging in the garden and / am
parshial to ladies if they are nice. 1
suppose it is my nature. am not
quite a gentleman but you would
hardly notice it but can't be helped
anyhow"
Mr.. Salteena will become, I hope,
part of the English language like the
Mad Halter and the Mock Turtle.
His history is a delight and demands
to be read aloud. London in leaping
upon him so swiftly and eating up
four editions of him in a month has
shown most excellent sense.
