Early Connecticut
 History Depicted
Tory Hole" Tells of British Invasion of Middle sex Parish in 178O-Brave Exploits of "Our
 Forefathers" Recalled in Story.

Tory Hole, another book by Louise Hall Tharp about early life in Connecticut, has just been pub lished by Thomas Y. Crowell Com pany. It is story for young adults about the Stamford vicinity during the last two years of the American Revolution.
 This book pictures family life in an invaded country, the hardships imposed on civilians, divided loyalty within the community and the evo- lution of our national consciousness. This dramatic story, taken from little-known historical archives, is presented to young people in the belief that it will make them bet ter qualified to carry on the Ameri- can tradition.
 Revolutionary War
 Students of American history will recall that one of the major strug- gles of the Revolution was the series of campaigns for control of the Hudson river and the chain of lakes to the north. An important link in Washington's defense of the Hudson was Stamford Fort, just north of the present City of Stam- ford. Tories from Long Island in- vaded the coast around Stamford and pillaged and burned villages, with the idea of causing assertions from Washington's army, breaking morale and destroying the New England communications. Thus, there were fifth columnists in rev. olutionary days, even as now,

although they were called Tories.
 The attempted burning of Middle sex Parish, with which Tory Hole opens, occurred on November 30, 1780. The raiders, transported from Long Island on British warships, operated against what is now called "the civilian population" but which was then just plain folks. In that instance, and in others subsequent- ly related, the raiders SWooped across the sound in frigates, much as they do across the English Chan nel in planes today.
 Modern praents sometimes look back upon their own childhood and remember how much enjoyment they themselves got from reading. They are diSmayed when their chil- dren consider reading a chore. How ever, with the present-day abund- ance of ear and eye entertainment, It is not surprising that children have little time for books. Tory Hole has a swift-moving plot UneSsential details and long des- criptive passages have been purpos- ly omitted. The style is simple and direct. Experts have discovered that this is the kind of book that even the modern child will read.
 Brave Exploits
 The history of Connecticut towns aboundS in the exploits of brave but obscure people. who often contribu- ted much to their country. It is just such situation that is described in Tory Hole. Mrs. Tharp is extremely interested in re-creating local Connecticut history for modern children, and in her letter to us she says. T would appreciate hear ing from any of your readers who know of other historic episodes which they regard as being equal to those related in Tory Hole" She can be addressed in care of her publisher, New York City.
