I like Bart Kennedy's books, Lito like like. They are so eminently original; en quiteʻunlike any other books that ever were written.
So it has been with his earlier works, and so is it with this, his latest. Listen to this, for example, "When I was SSTOU- teen I loft home to face the world, I walked out of the house one morning, and didn't come back again for £fteen years." Poverty drova me from home, but I can't say that I felt very down hearted about it. It is a fine thing to face life. I was glad sa I tramped along the road from Manchester to Liverpool, All arte fancies were in
It was so fine to feel free and to be going out into the Gnknown. Even now I often | fusi that I would almost like to drop every- thing and go out into the middle of the changes and chances of an unknown life."
