Studenis are to sub- mit their suggestions fer the LIRRARY SbSaSE So NEWS AND REVIEWS The following reviews were ; written by Miss Enid Wallace, | ee Chief Librarian, Mc- ughlin Public Library. The Wild Swan, the Life and | Times of Hans Christian Ander- | sen, by Monica Stirling. The fairy tales of Hans Ohris- an Andersen are part of every rChild's heritage but few people know very much about the man who wrote these stories. In the most complete biography, to| date, in English, Monica Stirling | has written a sympathetic, but never sentimental, account of Andersen's life, giving us at the same time a lively picture of nineteeth century Europe. Andersen was born in 1805 in) the little Danisn town of Odense, | his father a poor cobbler with a) passion for the theatre, his mother a washerwoman of sturdy peasant stock. Shy, awk- ward, overgrown, deeply sensi- tive about his grandfather's in- sanity, left fatherless at an early age, the boy Hans still had im- mortal longings. At the age of fourteen he went to Copenhagen to seek his fort- une and there miraculously be- gan the chain of events whereby he was befriended by men. of letters, theatrical leaders and even royalty. He attended school and university, then be- came and inveterate traveller, | his capacity for friendship trans- | cending the barriers of language | and culture. There are fascinat- ing stories of his meetings with Heine, Victor Hugo, Blazac, Mendelssohn, Liszt and Charles Dickens. His life had its somber as- pects, relieved in part by his travels. Neurotic fears and em- otional disappointments were in- tensifed by his unrequited love for the singer Jennie Lind. Into his other measn of escape, his writing, Andersen poured every- thing he had to give, writing novels, plays, an autobiography and travel sketches. But it is the fairy tales, rfelecting his, own deepest experiences of life, | which have made his name im-| mortal. A detailed bibliography of works by and about Andersen | is given at the end of the book. The House of Elrig, by Gavin Maxwell. Readers --who have enjoyed} "Ring of Bright Waters" and | "The Rocks Remain" will wel-| come Gavin Maxwell's new |} book, "The House of Elrig"} wherein he relates the story of | his own childhood and adoles- } cence. During this time his home was Elrig, a lonely, wind- | swept house on the moors of | Galloway. Here he was born in| 1914, the youngest child of Lieut- enant Aymer Maxwell and Lady | Mary Percy, fifth daughter of the seventh Duke of Northum- design of our annual semi-for- | mal, and Student Council will choose the best one. The student whose theme is. chosen will be allowed to assist Grade 12 in decorating 'for the dance. | A new system for encourag- ing school spirit for sports will be begun. Try-outs are to be held soon for boy-cheerleaders. In this way, it is hoped partici- pants on school teams will be urged on to victory. | The last important part of | business was brought up by our president, Adrienne Haas. Henry Street High School has been asked to join several other schools across the coun- try in a Student Exchange pre- gram whereby a student from our school will spend a few weeks at the home of a Quebec student, and at the end of that time, the Quebec student is in- | Henryite. | vited to visit the home of a Information should soon be available to all students interested. --JUDY TUSHINGHAM, --ELIZABETH WINTERS, ALLISON, CUNLIFFE beriand. His father was killed in il action at Antwerp three months later. So it was that Gavin, his | two elder brother and sister, | grey up surrounded by aunts, |uncles, grandparents, governes- ses and gardeners, but knew only the ghost of their father. When the inevitable time of going to school came, it was most difficult for Gavin, the youngest and most sensitive. His life of freedom at Elrig had not prepared him for the endless j|meed to conform, the. meaning- less rules, the lack of privacy afforded at school. Consequently, he was confus- 'ed and unhappy, spending his time day-dreaming of Elrig. At sixteen, the boy was taken ser- jiously if! and almost died; | through his long convalescence in the south of England, only the though of his moorland home sustained him. The book ends when the author joyfully returns to Elrig at the age of seventeen. The whole story is remarkable for Life And Times Recorded Of Weaver Of Fairy Tales 'its sensitive portrayal of the agonizing experience of growing up and the indelible impressions left in those early formative years.
