A BATCH OF NOVELS

' A. new novel by Warwick Deeping is "Two Black Sheep" (Cassell). Thia is written with a vividness and dramatic power which characterises the author's work and tells the story of two1 erring mortals and what they made of their lives. The plot is ingenious. "The Farm," by Louis. Bromfield, is another new novel published by Cassell. It relates the history of four generations on a farm round which Indians roamed and gives a picture of a phase of life long passed away. Humour is the keynote of "Jam Today," by Eupert Latimer (Cassell). la this fantasy a respectable- spinster, n noted artist, several charming young people, and a bald-headed actor provide entertainment for the reader. "A Touch of the Sun," by Erie Hazelton (CasseH), is a tale of love and passion in the romantic East. English country life is faithfully depicted by Archibald Marshall in "Claimants" (Collins), a pleasantly-told tale not devoid of excitement. A vision of England in the future under a Communistic regime is pvosented in "Unborn Tomorrow," a, first novel by John Kendall (Collins). It has all the. ingredients of a first-rate "thriller." | . "The Trail of Pontiac," by Hugh Pendexter (Collins), is an exciting story of the pioneers who made America. The Crime Club's "Book, of the Month" is John Ferguson's "Night in Glengyle." Missing papers, a murder, and other sensational happenings provide the necessary ingredients for a good "thriller."
