dally reviews new book by luella creighton former luella bruce of stouffville this is probably the best regional novel yet written in canada and that in my opinion represents very solid achievement in spite of the anguished cries for a truly national literature if we can keep on producing writers like mrs creighton we can well afford to let the great canadian novel look after itself high bright buggy wheels is not it of course this book is no myth it is solid writing which deals with a very alive phenome- num of canadian indeed all life in western civilization its prim ary problem is that of emancipa tion the breaking away of the individual from the firm and fast indoctrination of his social relit ous and political group the hero ine tillie shantz simply has to decide what is right and what is wrong whether what sne has been taught is sin when her own instincts developed by contacts with other concepts of right and wrong tell her that sin is a word which no group or sect can define finally and for all time on this broad general problem which is one of the few basic situ ations for fiction mrs creighton constructions a tale which is en riched by the regional detail which she has chosen to use her specimen is the mennonite com munity which produced tillie with tremendous patience the aiuhoress delinates this com munity and the people who in habit it no important point of their dogma is overlooked or goes unexplained for mrs creighton is not out either to defend or destroy the precepts by which these gentle people live all she wants to do is to show that they do not apply to all people and what happens when a rebel is pioduced within the confines of a fixed dogma what happens to tillie shantz is that she goes out into the world to learn a little dressmaking and music before she marries a men nonite boy in the process she finds that for her there is a rich ness of experience which hen faith will not let her enjoy she also finds that there is a man outside her faith whom she can love the resulting conflict within the girl herself makes the major portion of the book with skill but per haps at too slow a pace sometimes mrs creighton takes the reader into the heart of tillie shantz making him see that with most of us one of the most difficult things in the world is to make a clean break even after tillie marries the outsider knows wonderful happiness she turns back in an extremity to the old faith only to find that it no longer can satisfy her this is a real dilemma that of the man or woman who finds he cant go home again and yet ever has a yearning for the bosom on which he was nutured mrs creighton offers a solution in the closing chapter in this land where almost all of us are only a generation or two away from country living this book will strike many a responsive chord many of the pictures it paints will produce a nostalgia for that other way of life even if the readers knowledge of it is only in the reminiscences of his parents as far as the novelgoes the effect is to create a backdrop of rich authenticity which adequately compliments the characters who dominate each page the prose itself is adequate to the load it must carry out not exactly inspired one feels that the authoress had a heavy burden in what she wanted to say and she did at that and that she just con tented herself with saying it clear ly she did do that but her words never sing there is rarely the joy ous lift which comes from great writing am i expecting too much after all this is a first novel and it is one of the best we have had in many an arid year well thats just it here is a writer who knows how to tell a story how to pace it how to hold it together how to make the little show the big i want her to write like one possessed too for she is one of the best bets i know right now whats more i go out a little farther and predict that high bright buggy wheels will soon be topping the lists in popularity for canadian readers james scott the rbmarkable
