Here are intimate glimpses of the early years of the boy who Was to become Pope, his family and friends, the places he lived and the schools he attended. As a young priest his intellectual prowess led him early into the diplomatic corps of the Church, where he served in the Vatican State department under Pope Pius XIII. In time, Msgr. Montini became Pro Secretary of State for Ordinary Affairs and the Pope's closest and most trusted confidant. In 1954, he was made Archbishop of Milan, a hot-bed of Communist activity, where he courageously faced open hostility to spread the teachings of the Church among the workers. He becam<? an intimate friend and adviser to Pope John XXIII (he was the first Cardinal appointed by that beloved pontiff) and was one of the principal architects of the renouned Ecumencial Council which he was destined to direct as Pope. Writing in the popular, readable style for which he is so justly famed, William Barrett captures the full stature of this extraordinary man, as he tells Pope Paul's life story against the background of the momentous world events which affected his life and the role of the Church in modern times. The result is an inspiring biography of a man who is fulfilling his manifest destiny as a great spiritual leader. In collecting material for his biography of Pope Paul, Mr. Barrett, who now lives in Denver, Colo., carried out extensive1 research in Milan, Rome, and Concesio. the Pope's birthplace. He interviewed scores of people, who have known the Pope during his entire lifetime. The author was in the Eternal City when Pope Paul was elected, attended the magnificent coronation ceremonies, and was present at one of the Pope's first audiences. "Tales of the Uncanny find Supernatural" by Algernon Clackwood. One of the most brilliant mystic story tellers since Edgar Allan Poe, Algernon Blaickr wood possessed the special gift of building up a canny atmosphere out of quite an ordinary situation. His stories are written with such depth and credibility that the supernatural events seem inevitable and even more terrifying. Far from being fantastic, his characters are essentially real, which increases the horror when they come in contact wilh the supernatural. In addition to his novels, Algernon Blackwood wrote a considerable number of short stories, and this book provides a representative selection, including, such famous tales as "The Man Whom the Trees Loved," "The Occupants of the Room," Running Wolf", "The Pikeslaffe Case", "The Lost Valley and many others. As many of these- stories have been out of print for many years they will come as a fresh revelation to those who appreciated them when they originally appeared, and will give pleasure to those who may not yet have had the opportunity of reading them. Certainly, this fascinating book will appeal to everyone who enjoys well-written tales in an atmosphere of the mysterious and the macbre. New Books "My Name is Morgan", by William Woolfolk. Jack Morgan is a man who lives in perpetual crisis, whose astonishing vitality electrifies the pages of this novel. In his world, the world of a master showman who started in a small way but is fighting to the top, he may seem a familiar type --ninety percent show and ten percent genius. But any feeling of familiarity soon vanishes, for Jack Morgan is shown' as he appears not to other but to himself. Determined to make the biggest and best movie the world has ever seen, Morgan pours his fantastic energy into creating a biblical spectacular called "The Apostles". And with the fierceness he brings to his work he is courting the screen's leading goddess, Anne A1 len -- an ostentatious affair for which he embezzles from his financial backers. As the production hovers near bankruptcy, Morgan travels the length and breadth of the country recruiting new backers, an all star cast, the best screen writer, and the most skilful director. vFrom the tumultuous evdnts of his life, Morgan derives his own peculiar viewpoint of triumph and disaster, morality and transgression. His ambition is the mainspring of the jnovel, but only in the end can the meaning of his achievement be understood. As his demonic drive plunges him into a whirlpool of events beyond bis control, this taut, fust-paced novel leaches a tremendous climax. William Woolfolk takes the reader deep into the world of the international showman; he has created a colorful group of characters ^against an aut hentic, exciting background of New York, Hollywood and the Middle East. In Jack Morgan, a man of action impervious to conditions of time or place, a tycoon whose essence is to perform, he has portrayed a hero who stands forth very much larger than life. "Wanderer", by Sterling Hayden. Sterling Hayden had made thirty-five motion pictures, held a multi-film contract and was earning an average of $160,000 a year when he suddenly quit. He walked out on Hollywood, walked out of a shattered marriage, defied the federal courts, and set sail on Jan. 20, 1959, with his four children, on the schooner Wanderer -- bound for the South Seas. He had no money, no job, no prospects for future Hollywood roles. He was an outlaw, subject to punitive action by the United States government. And he was deeply in debt. Four months later,' Wanderer anchored in Tahiti, where Hayden found hundreds of letters from men and women, expressing admiration and sympaihy for his dramatic gesture of revolt. Wanderer would be a memorable book if only for the story of that voyage. But it is much more. Imbedded in the narrative is the odyssey of Wanderer's master, Sterling Hayden, of a life crammed with action, events, adventures, success, and failure- at sea, in war, in love, and in Hollywood. "A TREASURY OF HORSE STORIES" selected by Margaret Cabell Self Lovable .eccentric, dramatic, beautiful, faithful creatures that horses are, they have been man's closest companion in his work and his pleasu res throughout most of history. This collection, then, includes some of the funniest, most dramatic, most heartwarming, memorable momenls in literature, John Steinbeck, Rudyard Kipling, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Saki, Masefield, Will James, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and John Galsworthy are only a few of those whose writings are included in this fine anthology. Here you will find stories or poems about 1 horoughbreds, draft horses, light harness, standard breeds, ponies, wild range horses, flat racers., steeplechasers, hunters and trotters; horses that pull hearses and even one that pulls a quaker to church. Most of the famous horses are here, Pegasus and the centaurs among them. The stories are set in various parts of the United States, England, Ireland, Mexico, Arabia, India, Spain, Norway, Austria, Greece, and the imaginary country of Gulliver. The mood varies from the dramatic to the hilarious, from the wonder of the small boy who finds himself in control of a great team to the stark tragedy of another lad in the loss of his pony; and there is one good murder story for the addicts of this type of literature. Readers of all ages and from varied backgrounds whether or not they have read about horses before -- will find in "A Treasure Of Horse Stories" old and new favorites to remember and reread through the years. "The Works of Oscar Wilde" London in the early lK90's boasted no more notorious figure than Oscar Wilde, then at the summit of his fortunes. He was lionized by fashionable society, celebrated throughout the United States and Europe, applauded by theatre-goers, critics and the reading public, loved and respected by a host of friends. - -- Yet in certain influential circles lie was hated for the flamboyance and eccentricity of both his private life and public Appearances--and all the more cordially detested for being so successful. Private rancour and envy were soon to be stirred up by a hostile press, erupting in a frenzy of ix>pular anger and prejudice, and culminating in disgrace and obscurity--a tragic ending to a brilliant career. The scandal and fui*or surrounding the trials and the years in prison have tended to overshadow the real worth of Wilde's achievement, which was prodigious. Through the unique quality of his conversation can never be recaptured, we can still enjoy the tenderness of his poems and fairy tales, the pathos and terror of Dorian Gray, the acuteness and originality of his aesthetic judgments, and above all the sparkling wit of his comedies. On this edition, too, appears the long letter written to-Lord Alfred Douglas from prison, known as De Profundis -- the complete version of which was kept under lock and key as long as the two main actors in this strange drama were alive. Now, with all the suppressed ] assages restored and seen in proper context, the anguish of Wildes humiliation is made vividly apparent. And when we assess his work as a whole it is impossible not to feel both admiration and compassion for a man whose full contribution to literature is only now being recognized. CHILDREN'S BOOKS "Trouble Creek" by Jo Sykes. Filled with the excitement of wild bears, stray bullets, and big game, the plot of "Trouble Creek' revolves around sixteen-year-old Ten Holland and his resented step-father, Dick Greer. Hired to help find young Alvin Brighton, who disappeared on a hunting trip near Trouble Creek, Ten is soon involved in a series of strange and hazardous incidents, including the unexpected discovery of a gang of poachers. The questionable behavior of Alvin's brother, George, adds to Ten's growing 'suspicions about the lost hunter's fate. In a highly exciting climax, filled with surprises, Ten not only uncovers the mystery behind Alvin's disappearance, but comes to a more mature evaluation of himself and his stepfather. Skillfully written, this fine Western story will make absorbing reading for all boys and girls with a taste for adventure. "The Looked Crowns" by Marion Garthwaite. Completely at the mercy of the treacherous overlord who is her guardian; the young and beautiful Princess Goldborough, rightful ruler of England, is imprisoned in a high walled tower of rocks. Only the two old servants who care for her know of her shameful treatment and of the slender golden crown left by her father to crown her Queen of England. Inextricably entwined with Goldborough's destiny is that of Havelok Dane. A King's son and doomed to death by his jealous guardian, young Havelok's lot is cast with a loyal family of Danish fisherfolk who escape with him to England. The crowns of England and Denmark hang in the balance as the English overlord plots Goldborough's downfall. This unique and dramatic book is the first modern-retelling of the legend of Havelok the Dane, whose heroic deeds are set in the sixth century. In her research for the book, the author visited Denmark and England and studied accounts of the Havelok saga as set down in early British and French literature.
