PRE-CRISIS NOVEL

Anne Vernon, author of ‘ Red Sky at Night,’ has chosen a homely setting for her latest novel, ‘ As It Was in the Beginning,’ just issued by Stanley lain and Co. The scene is Risingdou, a small country village not tar from Loudon, and there is situated Monk’s Acre, home of the Martins. It is tho story of the Martins-mother, two daughters, and son—that Miss Vernon has welded into a touchingly human novel. Simplicity is the keynote of this story; the simplicity and sensibility of a mother facing f'amilv crises in a world of crisis, with the Munich talks fading into war. It is for Laura Martin, perceptibly ageing, to guide her daughters through the pitfalls that beset modern youth in their new freedom, and to shake her son out of the grip of melancholy forebodings of the future. Through the pen of Anne Vernon she helps them to weather these storms, and leads them 1 back to where “ it was in the beginning, and ever shall bo.” It is a novel with modern treatment, well written and full of interest. • '
