HAPPY FAMILIES “Happy Families” has captured that cheerful spirit of youthfulness which makes it loved by the young of all ages. Harry Graham introduces to us three delightful small people, Alice, Martin and Timothy, who, in the course of their games of discovery, improvise and organise the detection firm of “Almartim’s” ' whose special duty is the frustration of crime (following suspicious look old men with beards) and the recovery of the lost (namely and mostly Aunt Emily’s spectacles). Here, also, we meet William the mouse with a fondness for hiding in certain • toys, and Eliza the dog, and the Duke and the unbended butler, and, of course. Aunt Emily. Lewis Baumer has made riotous little sketches running through the book which is a slice from the carefree yet most stupendous life of som<?very jolly children. “Happy Families,” by Harry Graham: Nathan Cape.
