"Here," said I, "is a kindred spirit." A page or two disproved that theory but by that time I was ensnared. Lesley Conger's mind is de- lightful, interesting, active and original. Her command of English matches. She writes with verve and spirit, This book is ideal for sum- mer reading because it relaxes and amuses, For that matter it is good for autumn reading - it w o u l d probably stir one in- to activity to match the crisp fall air, I can imagine no more friendly companion as the snow swirls around the door -- and as for next spring, or any other one actually, to read this is infinitely more rewarding than house-cleaning, Lesley Conger, when the chronicle begins is 39 years of age. She is the mother of six children, the wife of a profes- sor of anthropology. They are a one -car, three -typewriter family, knee-deep in books. She reads constantly but in her estimation, nothing really im- portant. Previously she was author on one book, radio and television plays, and a number of short stories. During the hours her young- est child is at kindergarten she starts on this programme of self -education. She begins with Dante and continues with Virgil, Horner, Plutarch and Thoreau --to name a few, The adventure begins. She reads; and thinks about what she reads, relating it frequently to her own life. It is, after all, rather difficult to divorce oneself from one's own family. These anecdotes make the reading so much more vital. The line il- lustrations in the book are priceless and the titles of each meditation simply convulsed me. For example "The big red book is small and Green" (any mother will understand that), "Nobody slept here, just us", "Little fur scarves that look at you" and "Beauty is only ankle deep." She may not have read the classics before but when she does now she brings to them a mind that has already been trained at college in anthropol- ogy (I wonder if that is how she met her husband --she doesn't say) Japanese, Malay, Chinese and Russian. How could a mind be ordinary after that? Sanity, humour and good values shine through the pages. I should say that Lesley Conger had an extra -ordinary mind. It was a privilege to watch it at work, I recommend that others do likewise --besides we may have to wait some time for another book --by the time this one was completed she was the mother of seven children.
