The Young Man From
Mount Vernon
By Arthur Pier. Ne1o York.
Frederick A. Stokes Co.

oy az tftu' tCf. "Ctc O'h
Frederick A. Stokes Co.
The Young Man From Mount
Vernon" is a novel based largely on
George Washington memoirs, re-
ports and correspondence. For this
reason it is presumably accurate,
although Mr.. Pier frequently con-
fesses certain embellishments.
The story is laid in the decade
beginning in 1748, during which a
series of important events occurred
in the life of Washington. 1t opens
with a narrative by George William
Fairfax, young cousin of Lord Fair
fax, who included the youthful
Washington in a surveying party
that penetrated the Shenandoah
Valley wilderness. 1t goes on to de-
scribe many pre-Revolutionary
events in which Washington figured
the battles of Forts Duquesne and
Necessity. in which he fought for
the British against the French and
the Indians; the debacle of the Brad
dock campaign, trip to Boston to
settle with Gov. Shirley the dispute
between royal and Colonial officers
However, much of the novel is
woven about Washington's lifelong
attachment for Sally Fairfax.
The author has employed the de-
vice of having the various important
characters in the story give,
ostensibly in their own language,
their versions of the episodes in
which they were the leading
participants.
There is action and adventure, as
we'll as love interest, in the book,
and it will appeal strongly both to
those who are devoted to Washing
toniana and to those who enjoy a
stirring story well told. G. w. D.

The Wandering Years
3y Weston Mdrtyr.

oy w CotOH MufLyT. VcU UTh.
Dodd, Meade & Co.
In his first attempt at book writ
ing, Weston Martyr exhibits touch
of style that has not been evident
in his numerous short stories. Here,
in an autobiography, he rambles on,
saying just what he wants to say
without developing a plot or stick
ing to a story The result is an in
teresting revelation of his character,
spiced with bit of philosophy. His
writing is that of one who has seen,
has experienced, and knows.
THE Wandering Years" tells of
his life as a middle-class Britisher
in whose blood runs the brine of
the sea. At that tender age when
most lads are attending school and
living at home in ease and comfort,
this hearty Britisher signed as an
apprentice on sailing vessel. From
then on his life was one adventure
after another.
While wandering over the eastern
half of the world, Mr.. Martyr found
himself in the gold and diamond
mines of the Transvaal after jump
ing ship at Durham, Africa, then in
Japan as clerk in the foreign
Offices of the Standard and Shell
Oil Co.'S; then at the front
during the World War as an in
fantry officer with the 1st and 18th
Sherwood Foresters, then, after a
94-day journey across the Atlantic
in a 50-foot cutter, settled down on
a country place in rural England
with his wife and his storytelling.

As q Driven Leaf
By Milton Steinberq. Indian

dpolis.. BObbS, Merrill & Co.
This is an historical novel, based
on the life of one Elisha Ben
Abuyah, a Jewish rabbi who lived
in Palestine in the reign of Diocle-
tian and gave over the faith of his
fathers to serve the Roman Empire
because he became convinced that
Rome was best serving the interests
of humanity. Mr.. Steinberg an
nounces that he uses considerable
latitude in his Interpretation of
Elisha's story, that, indeed, he has
simply used it as a base on which
to set a fictional tale. The story
which he has thus made is, perhaps,
of a practicable nature.
For it tells how Elisha was unable
to reconcile his adoption of Rome
with his early loyalties and, being
at last required to give information
which brought friends of his to a
hideous death in the arena, broke
utterly and became a wandering
outcast. The conclusion which the
author draws is that he was pun
ished for renouncing the true God.
1t cannot but seem too specific,
however, for its circumstances;
forced betrayal of friends might
we'll cause any man to suffer de-
spair. even if no religious ques-
ton were involved. But there the
thesis is, as this author has set it
forth.
The book is meritorious in it's pres
entation of the ancient civilizations
the Jews in their country homes
and cities in Palestine and the
Graeco-Roman life of Antioch. Ex-
cept for the aforementioned criti-
cism, it would seem to be an en-
tirely acceptable routine historical
piece. NC. R.

Come Spring
By Ben AmeS Williams. Bos.
ton HoughtOn, Mi67in Co.

Here is something new in Amer
lean fiction in that it is a novel
about the actual men and women
who conquered the Maine wilder
ness. 1t portrays the real drama
that was ever present in the lives
of those hardy pioneers.
In the fall of 1776, Philip Rob-
bins and his family settled on the
banks of st. Georges River. OF
the large family. the girl Nina was
the strong one. The love interest
of Come Spring" is based on the
deep infatuation of Nina for Joel
Adams, who had been fighting with
Burgoyne.
When we meet Nina, she has
attained the age of 10, but has de-
veloped a calm assurance and an
efficiency in meeting life's problems
that seem superior to what our nor
NAL expectations might be of one
of her youth and limited experience
Mr.. Williams has made us feel
that everything is proper, even
when Nina hires herself out as
housekeeper to three young men in
order to snare Joel (not marry
ing man., whom she has made up
her mind to marry. She finally gets
what she wants.
Come Spring" is fascinating
and intimate record of the strong,
colorful realism Of the early Amer
lean frontiersmans day-by-day life.
We are conscious of the strength
of this writing as we see, through
Mima's eyes, the building of new
cabins, babies being born, and a
new town come to life. The author
has done a good job. He has given
us a book of quiet valor enlivened
with plenty of horseplay, gossip and
robust love making.

By Catherine Drinker Bo1pen.
NeU York: Random House.
Miss Bowen will be remembered
as the author of the first-rank
biography of Tschaikowsky pub
lished two years ago. In that work,
based mainly on reams of corre-
spondence, Miss Bowen converted an
arid field into comparative pas
tureland of reliability through her
scholarly research and manner OF
presentation. 1t becomes apparent
that it is the authors creed to round
out her essential geographic data
with carefully selected incidental
and background material, for she
employs just this approach in her
colorful treatment of the lives of the
Rubinstein brothers.
The story of the two Rubinsteins
is one of opposite personalities,
nourished by family devotion to a
success that ranged from childhood
to death. Both child prodigies of
equal acclaim, Anton and Nicholas
at an early age saw the separation
o. their artistic pathways. The for
mer made the world his touring
grounds, attracting by his fair for
pianistic craftsmanship (and theat-
ricali,ies) the great and small of a
brilliant artistic era. Nicholas, on
the other hand, pursued the more
quiet ways OF study and compost
tion. Thus, record of the fam
buoyant, crowded life attendant to
the successful concert performer, be-
side the unostentatious. rather plod-
ding existence personifled by stay
at-home Nicholas Rubinstein, who,
by founding the important Moscow
Conservatory, satisfied his fondest
wish. JOHN STEPP.

The coming OF spring brings
thoughts of things new and different

alities you may never know, the ex-
periences and adventures you may
not have? Publishers spring lists
and recent book reviewing periodi-
Gals have suggested numberless titles
to the book lover. Here are some of
them.
Agnes Newton Keith's Land Be-
low the Wind is an entertaining
story of four years in North Borneo.
1t is illustrated with the authors
pen drawings of the natives, animals
and places she tells about.
The Other Germany" by Erika

,since their exile from Germany by
the son ana daughter or Thomas
Mann. This one is an exceptionally
fairminded explanation of those
Germans who passively resist Hitler
at home and work actively against
him outside the Reich.
For hair-raising tales of adven-
ture and incredible happenings all
over the world read The Inside
Story by members of the Overseas

Music Here and Now

By Ernst Krenek. Ne1U York:
w. w. Norton G. Co.
In this book Mr.. Krenek takes it
upon himself to carry the colors
for atonality, that form of modern"
(although 30 years ODD music, which,
TO the untutored ear of this gen.
Grafton, sounds like so much jangle
and hubbub. His argument, becom-
ing necessarily involved with the
immediate properties of the subject,
proves to be penetrating and schol-
arly, and for all that, quite lively
I'm presentation. He writes with
breadth of scope that covers many
a related topic as we'll, with an in
formality that arrests and holds at
tention.
One of the better-known atonalist
composers of today, Mr.. Krenek is
qualified to speak in defense of the
music without key" He presents
his case to the professional objectors,
pointing out the appearance of SINH
lar precedents in the course Of
musical progress. He aims at the
listening public, asking an open
minded addition, free of the in
fluence of established music forms.
After reading his work it would
seem that, in default of a definite,
probably premature stand of ap-
proval or condemnation, the lay
music public would do we'll to heed
Mr.. Krenek's plea There has been
more than one composer to foster
revolutionary idiom in his time
and endure the bitterest of opposi-
ton before finally achieving recog-
nization and appreciation. J. s.
