["The Golden Roof," by Marjorie Bowen. Hodder & Stoughton, 7/6.)

Another fine tale by Marjorie Bowen, well-known writer of his torical novels, is "The Golden Roof." The title is taken from The Golden Roof on the Imperial Palace at Innsbruck. It is a fine story, the love interest being pro vided by the love story of Maximilian himself with his first wife, Mary of Burgundy-which he told in "Weisskunig." It la of a period previously never written of by English fiction writers.· All who remember ""The Countess Fanny," quite a recent book by this author, will enjoy The Golden Roof." It is a well written story and should prove just as popular as the numerous other works by this writer.

LORD GREY'S FAMOUS WAR BOOK

Ford Grey has written a long and Imost important Introduction to the new People's Library edition of his "Twenty-Five Years," which Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton an-; nounce for early publication. In it Lord Grey deals with various criticisma, mainly from German and Pro-German sources, that have been made against his book.

The People's Library edition of "Twenty-Five Years will be in three volumes at 2/6 net each, and

will therefore be available-hence- the most famous book on the war forward at a really popular price.
