Covington Book
Club Has Review
“Vanished World’
The Covington Book Club met
Monday afternoon, February 8,
at the home of Mrs. R. O. Arnold
with Mrs. Helen Dickinson and
Miss Lucy Banks as welcomed
visitors.
Mrs. S. J. Morcock reviewed
the book, “A Vanished World”,
by Anne Gertrude Sneller. The
author wrote this, her first book,
at the age of eighty. The vigour
of her style, the clarity of her
expression, the clear pictures
she had drawn are a delight to
the reader. Mrs. Morcock re
marked that in recognizing the
accomplishment of this eighty
year old woman, we in the book
, club still have some time left
to produce some creative works.
There are challenges ahead,
songs to be composed, pictures
to be painted, books to be writ
ten, pies to be baked and worlds
to be conquered.
Miss Sneller was born in 1883
in upper New York State on a
farm which she describes in her
book. One critic has said “A
Vanished World” is a well balan
ced combination of historical in
formation, revealing character
study and just plain good writ
ing. It is remarkably free of
sentimentality. Miss Sneller’s
memory is honest and so is her
writing.
Mrs. Morcock’s presentation
reflected the sparkle and humor
of this refreshing story. Her
characters were vividly portray
ed and she also gave her listeners
a realistic picture of rural
America with its peaceful family
farms and quiet country roads.
At the conclusion of the pro
gram the hostess served a de
licious dessert with salted nuts
and coffee.
