ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
FTER reading 669 pages of detective "* fiction a reviewer may ,be excused for feeling that there are many monsters in the world, and that bodies are useful mainly for baffling the police. The addict, however, will find that only the best murders are included in To the Queen’s Taste, a crime anthology edited by Ellery Queen (Faber and Faber, English .price 12/6). But even the addict should be warned that it is wise to take murder in small doses. M Y Best Story for Boys (Faber and Faber, English price 8/6) has a title- which needs no explanation. The stories are good of their kind, but it is interesting to notice that most of them are in the orthodox style favoured by boys’ magazines. If it is true that children are conservative in their reading (a point about which this reviewer is by no means certain), the book should | be popular. Its widest appeal, however, | may be to fathers. |
