20 are accompanied by Photographic
reproductions Of their typed or manu-
script pages, which supposedly gives
an even more intimate glimpse of how
genius works. Each is preceded by a
little questionnaire which asks and
answers such important questions as
whether the author types, writes or
dictates his opus. How much re-
writing and correcting is done? How
much proof is demanded and read?
And from all this psinstaking ques-
tioning, only one general conclusion
may be reached, and that is that each
writer, like each OF his non-writing
brothers, is law to himself and has
his own method of procedure.
A very interesting fact unintention-

brought out by this book is the re-

A CLEVERLY written novel Of Eng

trays the aimless sort of character
and mode of life Of the upper-much
upper-middle classes, but has other
wise no special point, unless it be
to show the inherent snobbery of those
people. "T'he Picnic" Is story of
the establishment or re-esta abliahment
of an Australian widow, her two uni
versity age sons, and their paternal
aunt in the home of their ancestors,
a large, English country house. They
are Immediately plunged into q tight,
little, social group of which the in
