Thursday, Jan. 29, 1931 Due to the fact that this is the be- ginning of the "open season" for books, Miss Gould is acceding to the publishers' requests to postpone her travel articles for a timemnd devote herself to book-reviewing-Ed. Probably no one was more sur- prised at the overwhelming populnr- ity of Dr, Axel Munthe's first book than Dr, Munthe, himself. That "Stcry of San Michele" was so ob. viously a book written for his own amusement, a recalling of the pun' gent, humorous, touching incidents which had made up his life. It was one of the books which might so easily have been read and intensely enjoyed by a few hundred people and then gone the way that the author probab- ly expected it to go. into oblivion. But, on the contmry, it was one of those books which everyone reads, which spread like an epidemic over the country. It was a good epidemic. In that book Dr. Munthe rolled out his 'dough; as it were, and cut his cookie with a lavish hand. What he had left of his life, making up this book written long ago, is undoubtedly the scraps, though they are tasteful scraps. This book is published now for the firnrt time in America. In his delight- ful preface Dr. Munthe explains how he came to republish the book, Some- one read to him, in his blindness these memories of long ago, and “As I listened with u compassionate smile on my lips to these humble stories iuliaeiiy felt a pane in my heart and I wished I could write today just such a book Is this with all its short- "M EMORIES AND VAGA RIES" By Axel Munthe B.

You will meet in this book mnny of the friends of "Sm Michele," the organ grinder with his monkey, the old dramatist with his latest tivemet tragedy under his arm, but above I" you meet the author himself, with his incomparable gift for humorous, sym- pathetic, interested living. One hundred thousand people in France. we are told, bought Paul Morand’s "New York" immediately upon publication. Evidently the French are curious about us! They are taking their trip to New York vicariously instead of in the more ex- pensive manner in which we go to Paris. But Parisian! chose a good guide for their vicarious journey for Paul Morand is an interested 'ee pathetic interpreter of New York. His researches have been"tndetntitrutm1e. From the Battery to Horlem he has gone not once to each piece, rushing home to put his hllf baked impres- sions on paper, but muny times to each place so that he can tell you how Brooklyn Bridge looks by moon- light, at dusk, in winter, in summer. as many of us who would think we know New York well, could not do, We can learn much from the book as well as have a (rent deal of en- joyment. It should enhonce our pleasure in walking up Fifth Avenue. shouldn't it, to know that the Island of Manhattan was bought for twenty- six dollars'? It should also give us a new respect for the possibilities of real estate. We know!
