QUIET WATERS TROUBLED
BLUE DANUBE. By Ludwig Bemelmans Hamish Hamilton. PLEASANT satirical fantasy, wistful and comic, in which the "little people" triumph, morally if not physically, over their Nazi masters inside wartime Germany, this novel is made more delightful by its author’s drawings; one may buy the book for their délicate colour alone. Satires on the Nazis, now that they are overthrown, tend to fall a little flat, even when from such skilful hands as those of Bemelmans. But its good-natured picture of German manners is itself a justification of this agree-
able novel.
