THE BALCONY. BY Adrian Bell
New York: Simon &; Shuster.
THIS is book about childhood.
1t is fine thing Its prose is
melodic and consistent and its efforts
to recapture, without sentimentality.
the sense of infinite possibility which
goes with being very young, is almost
always successful. 1t is the story Of
little boy whose home is London fiat
and who sees ''the world between the
bars of the first-fioor balcony"
At first a gallery of portraits Of those
who make up the child's life-parents,
servants, friends-the book devotes
successive chapters to life in an Eng
lish boarding school and Summer va
cation in an English village. The
delicate perception of the author in
choosing what things to tell and in
leaving the obvious unsaid. marks the
work felicitously from beginning to
end.
"The Balcony" has already been
published in England, and its Ameri-
can sponsor predicts for it that 1t
will become a minor classic" One
doubts that, somehow. 1t is too quiet
book for just that fate. But, within
the limits of its quietness, it Is beauti-
full and moving.
THE 20 INCREDIBLE YEARS. AS
Heard and Seen by Bill Stuart.
New York: M. A. Donohue e. Co.
THIS is book about Chicago during,
as may be guessed, the last two
decades. Its chief purpose seems to
be to serve as an apology for the
Thompson Small regime in Illinois
politics, which. the author asserts, was
the best, not the worst, the State and
city have had during the period in
question. To this surprising thesis is
added sensational style and a gen.
eral policy of attack against ell
avowedly reform organization. MIR.
Stuart is a political writer of long
standing. He seems not bent on over
turning the accepted archives. Like
the player-queen, he doth protest too
much.
