The present edition Rives t .. , • t prose version in English of tin story. Mr. Cabell disavows any desire t teach, but critics ha%’e as- • unit’d that the story deals with man's dilcmmn between the shadow cast by hij own body and “the bright aura woven by hi- dreams.” A loosely woven fantasy makes the body of the l,.rk. To this Mr. Cabell'has added s nu> little essays upon himself, his life, his ideas, and his plan*. Of rourse. everyone knows that Mr. Ca- hoil is ji Southerner. Briefly the story of The Way of Frkn—Alfgar, king of Ecben, and Flf, tut of Rorn, went to war for t!- hind of blue-eyed Ettoinc, daughter of Thordis. Cities were de- .troyed and warriors died. Alfgar v.n the lady and in the blue-skied April they whispered love me'sages to one another. They married with strange ceremon)«s and sacrifices, rnd the glory of the realm w’ent on. Then Alfgar listened to the music of Ettarrc's passing—the music from behind the moon, and Alfgar began b journeying* to find Ettarre. Life dealt him changes of seasons and human decades. Age, that might have been limping and joyless, was made clad for him by the touch of the “witch woman who had drawn him out of the set ways of life into the garden between dawn and sun rise. whose magic is more great than is the magic of time.” Beautiful in expression, with rare words like “famousness" the book draws the reader into a world of dreams. Here is the music of literature. If we catch that, we ask not for logic or ("Id facts. In those last brief chapters upon himself, Mr. Cabell explains that the hook marks his passing a half cen tury of life. He now belongs among does our mother tongue, we should have the right to feel ourselves cocks of the walk. Indian history must always be interesting to the world. The trifling bits Mukcrji handles in Visit India With Me only whet the reader’s de sire for more. He telle,u* of the ancient race indigenous to the land, subjugated by latter comers who be came a superior caste. That India $nd ancient Egypt were once in inti mate contact is less familiar to west erners.
