Il has become almost paradoxical
that the better books are not found
on the best seller lists. But here Is
II. M. Tomlinson's "All Our Yester.
days." published by Harper and Bros,
nearly q score Of printings in several
months.
There is no author living who
writes with such perfect mastery Of
the art Of expression a. Tomlinson.
unless. perhaps. it is Masefteld.
"Au Our Yesterdays" Is Tomlin-
sons second work Of fiction. Until
Gallons Reach" appeared he de-
voted his writing to see stories and
travel. "The Sea and the Jungle" Is
his finest work Of this type and al
ready accorded q place in literature
beside Arabia Deserta" and 1.-THE
Travels Of Marco Polo" And it Is
more beautifully written than either
Of these.
In Gallons Reach" he proved
himself q great writer Of fiction as
well as adventure. This book, how.
ever, is hardly q noval. It is the
story Of q strange sea voyage but be-
cause there is the bare outline Of q
plot 1t cannot be considered purely a
travel type.
"All Our Yesterdays" is 50 superior
to most contemporary writing that It
should suffice to say that It is one Of
the great books Of the twentieth cen
fury. The style and quality Of the
authors prose Is what impresses one
first. II one may have the license to
coin q term expressing 1t, it might be
called poetic prose, q sort 81. Elusive
medium between prose and poetry.
This is q war stSry but the author
does not confine himself to realistic
descriptions Of trench warfare, COO
ties and dying soldiers. There are &C
tual ~.front-line scenes but they are
limited to several chapters. And one
gets a better idea Of what the war
was from them than from most Of
the whole volumes Of recent war fic-
ton.
Tomlinson presents q panorama Of
events which have led up to the war
and which show that though the
late war was inevitable the next one
need not happen.
There are episodes Of 1900. Ger
mans want certain parts Of Africa.
SO do British. They work secretly
In the .jungles Of the dark continent
by fair means or foul striving to fur
ther their respective countries' In
terests. There are fine descriptions
Of Africa and Of the telling Of exotic
places even Conrad does not surpass
TomlinSon.
In 1900 It seemed that there would
never be another big war. In 1908
people weren't 30 certain. With
