N Beyond the Eagle’s Rage (The Bodley Head, English price, 9/6), Hugh Popham treads familiar ground with his imaginative account of war criminals on the run through the snows of Switzerland, and a siege in a small winter sports resort with villagers and visitors taking part. Although the hero is kept busy making up his mind whether to be faithful to his fiancée or succumb to the charms of another woman, he is not too preoccupied to take a long journey on skis and bring about the downfall, literally, of the escapees. WART KEMPSON has a reputation ~ for easy and lucid writing on Bridge, a subject which can become impenetrable even when an expert deals with it. In Contract Bridge Hands (Faber and Faber, English price 7/6), Kempson set's out hig diagrams and explains them concisely. His curtains come down with a soothing rustle: for instance, "So, say to your host: ‘How did you play it, old boy?’ and reach for the decanter with equanimity." ‘] HE evolution of the main lines which run like arteries through Britain’s nationalised railways is described by Hamilton Ellis in Four Main Lines (Allen and Unwin, English price 16/-). Readers interested in railway history will find this an instructive and well-written book, appropriately illustrated. a
