book that the reading public seems

outstanding merit. II is Henderson
Dainserfieid Norman's "The Plays

have been widely acclaimed by the
critics. all OF whom have said that
Mrs. Norman had been unbelievably
successful in her translation, and yet
the sale so far has been deplorably
small.
1t certainly seems to US that the
new writer is holding his own with
the writer whose reputation was es-

can point to Isabella Hollis THE

the present 'Bolshevistic" condi-

Holmes, Mrs. Scott insists that chill

Dhere OF idealism rather than taught
ideals directly that they wiz ac-
sfire naturally the finer habits OF

the rights OF all are respected. where
courtesy and kindness are "the
common rule" where arbitrary
commands and demands are IN
known. and where work has respect

themselves set bad example. they
cannot expect their children to be

this. the author mentions a woman
who was disguised with her small

yet who repeatedly instructed that

"The Fire Bird" which Double
day, Page & Co. will publish on
April rs, is Mrs. Gene Stratton- Por.
ter's first published poem. 1t is an
American epic based on the ancient
Indian legend of the fire bird and
written in the rhythms Of the for.
est, falling now and again into the
wash Of the waves or the winding
music Of the canyons. From her
earliest childhood Mrs. Porter's ins
agination has been fired by tales of
Indian traditions. She lived near
the haunts OF the Miamis and was
often a guest in the wigwam of
Chief Waccaconah, whose children
were her dearest playmates. When
she grew older Mrs. Porter pursued
her studies OF Indian literature
aided by her husband, who was a
collector of Indian relics and pos
sessed rare collection of pipes,
skin dressing implements and stone
axes. Several years ago while read
ing Frazer's Folk Lore of the
Bible" Mrs. Porter found the record
of a flood narrative preserved
among the Natchez Indians Of the
Mississippi in which the flaming,
bright winged cardinal was the cen.
trail figure. This gave her the first
faint theme from which she evolved
her Indian epic.

AScAa~A "a SsoASs SOmP2Ays
VTY e have given careful con-
w s,asratiea to your letter
W OF April and shall an
swer to the best of our ability the
questions you ask.
1. The novel on our 1921 list that
actually sold the greatest number of
copies during that year was Sisters
in-law," by Gertrude Atherton.
''The Enchanted Canyon" by Ho-
more Willsie, Is rapidly catching up
and Is selling actively nearly one
year after publication.
2. The non-ficition work actual
ly selling the greatest number Of
copies in 1921 was violin Playing"
by Leopold Auer. The non-fiction
work having the greatest sale in
cluding 1922 to date, Is Auction
Bridge Standards" by Wilbur C.
Whitehead.
3. Outside of our own list, 1t seems
to US that we should most like to
have published, in fiction. "If Winter
Comes" and in non-fiction, Queen
Victoria"
4. One novel on our 1921 list
which we think deserved much bet
ter treatment at the hands of the
public than 1t received was "Our Lit
tie Life," by J. G. Slime. Its merits
were recognized by the best review
ers and 1t enjoyed a distinct success
in England.
s. Question six offers so many
lines OF approach that 1t is practi-
cally impossible to answer 1t in a
general way. In the matter Of sales
and popularity the new writer is
making good showing in certain
kinds of books. In other respects
the matter is debatable and the de-
bate bids fair to last long time.

|" HE most popular novel on our
1921 list was A. S. NJ. Hutch
inson's "If Winter Comes"
Published on August Il, it reached a
sale of weIl over 100000 copies by
Christmas. and is now in its 365th
thousand. 1t b-- also been a con-
spicuous SUI : England. where
over 1000 -,pfes have been sold.
No q of our non-fiction publica-
tons in 1921 was among the best
sellers OF the year.
In fiction. in addition to "If Winter
Comes" we published during 1921
several very successful novels. nota-
bly,, "The Wasted Generation by
Owen Johnson; Martin Conisby's
Vengeance" by Jeffery Farnol, and
two novels by E. Phillips Open
heim- Under the circumstances, the
fact that the other best sellers OF the
year were issued by other publishers
occasions us no regret. OF the books
OF non-fiction published by other
houses during 1921. we should have
liked best to publish Strachey's
Queen Victoria"
In our opinion the reading public
has neglected William Dudley Pei
leys novel. The Fog" which. though
It was the subject OF many enthu-
siastic reviews during the autumn OF
1871 had only moderate sale. We
are glad to say, however. that the
book has shown considerable life dur
ing the last two months and 1t would
appear that its merits are gradually
becoming known to the more dis
terminating readers OF fiction. TIE
NEW YORK HERALD said OF this book:
Several thousand OF the several
hundred thousand who read Main
Street hated the book. II you belong

the new writer is holding his own

other book on our 1921 list.
