(Harper, 1959). This book is sponsored by the Authors Guild, an American so- ciety of authors. Designed to help the beginning writer solve a few] of his problems, it consists of articles written by 20 different authors, eachi.an authority in his own field of writing. Some of the questions that would-be writers ask are discussed, such as how] to go about writing a novel, a short story, an historical novel. There is one frank article on "The Economics of Writing," which contains excellent advice for any writer who sees his man- uscript in print. For those happy few there is also a chapter on the literary agent. One chapter which should really hold the reader's interest is on the "Ro- mance of Scholarship," by Mar- jorie Hope Nicholson, a notable American scholar. There are some hints that any young jour- t development of the cattle busi- ness. one sitting, although rate skipper could no doubt get hours, but he would miss the po most of the best periods.

The nearest railway was the main line of the Grand Trunk. The bulk of their wares were hauled from, and their produce to, To- ronto by wagon and sleigh." Busi- ness with the settlers was done largely on a 12-month credit, and all kinds of produce was handled: butter, eggs, lard, tallow, lum- ber, shingles, home-made flannel, sheeting, stocking yarn, mitts, maple sugar, axe-handles, tallow | candles and such. ives Advice Writers The book cannot at be read the invete- he gist of the plot in a couple of int of the story and probably re looking for a short Western shooty", choose another hook. | guy 1404 of the work involved There is some great writing in|can be gained from the evidence this book.

Able, to those who have already be- gun. It might also interest and entertain those who do not as- pire to authorship but who like to see the wheels go round -- or to change the metaphor, to have a look behind the scenes. Finally, even if you do not read anything, else in the book, I recommend to all serious readers and writ- ers M. H. Nicholson's "Romance of Scholarship" (mention-| ed above), and Orville Prescott's most able and entertaining arti- cle, "On Book Reviewing." BORN OF THE SUN, BY John H. Culp (William Sloane, 1959). One of the better American novels to appear in recent "months is a story of character and adventure set in Texas dur- ing the reconstruction period after the American civil ~ war.| The politics of most of the men] and children involved is strongly | Confederate, but not offensively so. It is told as the reminis- cences of an older man, several decades after the time of action, so that it is the story of a young boy, barely in his teens at the beginning, who had to learn to accept a man's responsibilities long before the modern youth leaves school. With a Negro boy called Colt and a Mexican lad named Joe; Kid formed a most unholy trium- virate. Their exploits would turn the modern mother's hair grey in a week. Even with the hard work to be done by these boys, the grown-ups were hard put to it to keep them out of mischief.
