~ RoosEvELt Bambi, young Prince of the forest, is only a little fawn when the story opens. Standing on his small, weak legs he is just <urveying the world and finding it wonderful and mysterâ€" jous and very exciting. His mother talks to him telling him of the happy wonderful things about which Bambi questions her endlessly, but now and then pausing. as if on the brink of a cliff, before some nameless frightenâ€" ing thing.

There is something in the book which defies a label, a quality as elusive as the deer which is its hero, a quality which one seldom finds in any book. Perhaps it is the quality of complete sincerity and simplicity, perhaps it is wisdom, whatever it is it makes one, when one comes to reâ€" view it, approach it humbly.

Such a one was Walter Edwin Peck‘s two volume Shelley in which he had indulged. Up for some months has been eyeing me sadly but with well merited reproach.

Because of the elusive quality of Bambi it defies the ordinary words of praise or comparison. It is a thing in itself, quite perfect, perhaps best described by the words of its pubâ€" lisher an "idyll of animal life." Felix Salten, one of the group of Viennese writers, has a forest lodge beside the Danube and from here he has learned to know the wild life of which he writes. The cousins frisk and play together, only stopping once to ask each other, "Do you know what danger is ?" The others are silent, then his girl cousin laughs and bounding away says, "It‘s something to run away from."

It is here that Mr. Peck fails, he presents the material clearly and scientifically but he more or less leaves you to draw your own conclusions. In consequence, in spite of the vastly fewer number of pages and the far less volume of detail, we gained a clearer picture of Shelley, "Ariel" than from Mr. Peck‘s Life."
