TANYA by Kristine Benson
Kristofferson
The Ryerson Press have pleasure in
announcing this first book by a new
Canadian novelist, a writer for whom
they predict a great future, Born at
Ginele a frontier Manitoba settlement,
the daughter of Icelandic immigrant
parents, Kristine Benson -Kristoffersen
belongs to a racial group which has
contributed in a distinguished way to
Canadian letters and to our .national
life far beyond what their numbers
would ordinarily indicate. Entering
with a will into Canadian life, all of it,
such Icelandic descendants as the
author, Laura Goodman Salverson, and
others, are fascinated by the problem
of nation building, of assimilating the
various racial groups into a new Can-
adian people, Tanya has such a theme
as the basis of its story.
The story is built around a Hudson's
Bay Company post in northern Mani-
toba. Here is the real northland and
here the people who call it home, and
the life they live. The author rias
brought it all vividly into her book,
the seasons coming and going, the
forests and great rivers, and the ele-
mental interests and passions which
give life its colour and pattern. Above
all it is the story of young people in a
new and fast changing world of bar-
riers of race which sometimes stand-
fast and sometimes fall before over-
powering needs. In this splendid story
there are two or three characters that
will long remain in the memory of the
reader. They are exciting in that they
the superbly drawn, but they are im-
pressive because they show in a dra-
matic way how they 'stood up to life,
how they faced their own problem
and found a solution for it.
INDEPENDENT MEMBER
by A. P. Herbert
The author describes this book as "a
chunk of autobiography." By virtue
(or vice) of the Repregentation of
the People Act, 1948, University Mem-
bership has been abolished. Sir Alan
Herbert has been an independent
Member for Oxford University since
1935. Wondering what he and the
other eleven University Members
(three, whom are Privy Councillors)
have done to deserve ejection, he goes
back to Hansard and surveys his "Par-
liamentary episode" from first to last.
He gives some account of his many
causes and pioneer campaigns; and he
does not exclude the "scrapes," mis-
takes and failures. The more important
speeches are reproduced in full. Dur-
ing the war the author divided his
tithe between Parliament and the Roy-
al Naval Auxiliary Patrol (Thames),
and there is an incidental but vivid
picture of life in a small patrol-vessel
on London River throUghout the war.
As the Manchester Guardian has
said "the next Parliament will repro-
duce nothing like Sir Alan Herbert.
Nor will any other, He was inimitable;
an embodiment of wit, earnestness and
realism."
For the student of politics there is
much that throws light on Parliamen-
tary life and procedure; and to chose
who think of taking the Parliamentary
plunge, the author, a profourad aellever

THE GAY oaLuann
by Margaret Irwia
(The leve story of Mary Queen of
Scots)
The character of Mary Stuart is still
a riddle, and her love for Bothwell,
the Gay Galliard whom even his en-
emies called "thig glorious rash and
hazardous young man," forms one of
the strangeet eatisodes in history. Yet
from their story Miss Irwin has forg-
ed a drama of two human beings ax
moving and exciting as anytaing she
has written. In the furious turmoil of
her Scottish kingdom, Mary's aptitud-
es for statecraft and affection were,
constantly at war; it was only in
Bothwell's courage and his love that
she found serenity and a momentary
happiness ,But fate and their own
nature worked against them, though,
no destiny could conquer their spirit- '
"I am myself, myself!" Mary cried in.
revolt against the political tyrannies
of her time. It was a battle cry flung
against the world by two fiercely in-
dividual souls.
"It is an accomplished work, and it
is also fluent, graceful, picturesque
and very readable, with the romantic
appeal that is inseparable from almost
any book about Mary Stuart,"
