MR. KRASINSKY
KNAVE TAKES UEEN, by Peter Cheyney; Faber and Faber. English price, 9/6. R. KRASINSKY, the odd little man who turns up in all the stories in this collection, is apparently intended to personify the imagination, The device is an essential part of one of the stories; but in the remaining ten it is
superfluous, intrusive and monotonous. Peter Cheyney’s love stories are often flavoured. with crime. Beneath their superficial toughness, however, they are as wistful and sentimental as the daydreams of an adolescent, and equally as implausible.
