ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
KNIFE for Celeste, by Eric Burgess | (Michael Joseph, English price 8/6), is a rather tense story 6f a man who, deserted by his wife, comes back from the war in the mood for murder, A new love deflects him from his purpose, but there are some interesting situations before. the cure is completed. NE of the best pictures of 15th Century England is to be found in the Paston Letters, a family chronicle of endless value to historians, A selection from the letters, arranged and edited by Albert H. Ball, has now been included in the Holborn Library (Harrap, English price 6/-). It should permit the general reader (who does not feel himself quickly at home in the 15th Century) to sharpen his appetite for a full encounter with the Pastons of Norfolk. AORN T NS STAGGE writes a good thriller, and in The Three Fears (Michael Joseph, English" price 8/6) he finds his theme in murders which apparently are the accidental results of en attempt to kill a famous actress. There is a nice blend of suspense and satire, and the Divine Daphne is a character almost too good for a crime story.
