A GRIPPING and interesting biography is
IA ALBERT and the Belgians," by Charles
d'Ydewalle Belgian aristocrat and one-time
member of the late kings encourage William
Morrow & Co.; So.
An illustrated volume, this biography is
touching one, for M. dYdewalle writes of Albert
with the touching sentimentality of the true
Belgian follower of that giant ruler. The king
who died in the fall from a cliff was revered
by his subjects in much the same manner in
which Britons the world over feel toward
George V.
Albert, writes M d'Ydewalle, was always the
man, his true self at all times. He had his dark
moods (the result of his early training) and he
had his soft spots. Among his favorites was
the Prince of Wales and among his non-favor-
ties was Lloyd George whom he looked upon as
ruled by spite.
One of the most gripping sections of the
book is concerned with the war years, and, no
matter how one may feel about the war years.
there is no avoiding M. d'Ydewalle's conviction
that much of the fendish brutality and atrocity
Of the German invaders could have been
avoided.
