An interesting, wellâ€"told tale, deserving of praise, and with a sincere hope that Miss North will continue to turn out such delightâ€" In essence the story is this: The Wentworth family, consisting of Thomas, Ann, and their two sons, moved to Wisconsin, (Originally they had lived in Derbyshire, Engâ€" land.) The story of their lives is told. The focus, however, is upon the life of Dick, the younger of the two sons. Unmistakably it is weaved around Dick Wentworth and the many adventures that he experiâ€" enced. . There is real warmth in this novel, a warmth that seems to radiâ€" ate from the characters portrayed so clearly in Morning in the Land. I shall not tell any more of the story. I shall let it remain a pleasâ€" ant secret for you to discover. There is "no smell of ink" in Morning in the Land. This, I beâ€" lieve, is another commendable thing about the book. Each picturesque scene, ‘indeed, each â€" picturesque thought has a touching humanâ€"ness about it. Miss North seems to have an insight into the vague and rather incomprehensible naturalness of the human animal. This â€" discernment stands faithfully by Miss North throughout her new novel. Lastly, I liked Morning in the Land because it tells a story that moves neither to‘slowly nor to rapâ€" idly but, instead, at a normal, inâ€" telligible degree of swiftness, _I liked Morning in the Land beâ€" cause it is so pieasantly different from the kind of book that I have been receiving and reviewing lately. It has a pleasing lilt to it, a buoyâ€" ancy thatâ€" keeps one interested. Then, too, it is so charmingly simâ€" ple, and by that I mean it has preâ€" cision and forcefulness presented in an unobtrusive manner, When you read Morning in the Land, you realâ€" ize that each â€"sentence has been worked over with the skill of a poet, and Miss North is a poet, there is no doubt of that. By Jessica Nelson North, 408 pages Reviewed by Whitt N. Schultz I liked this book, and I want to tell you why.
