Three of the latest books on their shelves are reviewed here. THE LAST ENGLISHMAN by Hebe Weenolsen Outstanding among those few gallant English warriors who vainly contin- ued to fight the Norman invaders after the Battle of Hastings was the half-real, half-legendary Hereward the Wake. The Last Englishman is the tumultuous story of this daunt- less patriot who gambled his life to defy William the Conqueror, but sur- rendered his love •to a Norman lady, Herewayd Leofriesson, Earl of Bourne, returned to England from the Continent in 1070 to find his lands confiscated and. his people harshly persecuted by their new Norman masters. By this time most of the country's leaders were dead, or had submitted to William, but, with the help of the Earl of Waltheof, whom he incited to make a hair-raising es- cape from the Tower of London, Hereward raised a band of loyal fol- lowers and successfully captured the enemy garrison at. York. William himself led the army to re• take this stronghold, and after a len- gthy siege, when expected assistance from the Norwegian pirate, Asbiorn, was not forthcoming, the Englishmen were forced to flee into the marshes. From bases set up in the haunted forest of the Grannaswald they con- tinued to harass the Normans, Immediately 'after his landing in England, Hereward had encountered a beautiful lady in distress, Althya. de St. Denys, daughter of a Norman nob- leman. Rescuing her from the villain- ous Sir Guy de Lussac, he returned her safely to her home, but her image stayed with him in the bloody days to follow and his with her. Their ro• mance weaves a single bright thread through the. dark cloth of violence and cyclonic action from which this story has been fashioned. The lovely Althya was, against her will, betroth- ed by William to a man who had mur- dered her father; her brother died of wounds received in defence of York against Hereward; and when her lov- er was at bay on a tiny island in the fens, she tried, to no avail, to plead his surrender, in exchange for a Nor- man earldom. The Last Englishman Is a novel, of breathtaking deeds and daring men, a brilliant and exciting page from the history of a great nation, and, above all, it is magnificent portrait of an indomitable warrior whose love for England and for one woman was pre- destined to failure by the age in which he lived. WHERE NESTS THE WATER HEN by Gabrielle Roy The river that flows out .if Water Hen Lake in Manitoba Province is called the Little Water Hen. In that river is an island, and on the island live the Tousignant family-mother, father and 'eight children. It is a re- mote spot, cut off from contact with the outside world; the scenery is beautiful, but the educational facilit- ies are nil. Mamma Tousignant never leaves there except for a solemn ex- cursion once a year, or once almost every year, from which she alw tys re- turns bearing the same gift, a new member of the family. With this increasing brood, the pro- blem of schooling has become acute, and Mamma Tousignant finally chal- lenges the provincial government; she demands a school. Anyone knowing Luzina Tousignant could tell 3'01.1 in advance that in a contest involving the welfare of her family she is sure to win. And that indeed is what hap- pened, but the foal:ding of Little Water Hen School was by no means a simple and uncomplicated matter. In learning its complexities you come to know a most remarkable. woman (it was said of her that "she disposed people to become an are that they had reasons for being happy)" and as charming a family as ever graced an inland island. In addition to these natives of the Canadian wilderness, you will meet the Capuchin priest Father Joseph- Marie, the tough-fibered good angel of the district, who was barn in eastern Europe and whose twenty spoked lan- guages do not suffice to c anmunicate with all of his two or three hundred parishioners, Through his eyes the affairs and the people of the district are seen in a larger frame of refer- once, arid win a kind of timeless sig- nificance, Not since the publication of Maria Cha,pdielaine has there been a novel of Canada possessing auch warmth, understanding and aistinet- ion. LISE LILLYWHITE by Ma;gety Sharp Lisa Lillywhite, seventeen years old, an orphan, English by birth but wholly French by upbringing and per- suasiOn, is brought to England after the War by her grandfather and his fearsome daughter, Tante Amelle. So attractive as she is, so docile and de- mure, so suitably accomplished, so deeply informed, her mind as ..riaster- fully chaperoned in the sitting-room as her trim figure in the park or at the theatre, Life is being groomed for one thing only-maxriaKe into the haat monde. Put the time is the present; the haat monde, in Tante Amelie's sense, no longer, or scarcely exists; the T.Allywhites inhabit Paddington; and what, in Paddington, is to become of Lisa? The story moves Into (and, under Tante Amelle's direction, very qul k- ly out of) the affairs of Les Girls, the disreputable pair living opposite; to the home of the English ' whites in Somerset; to the fringe of the black market, where resides Stan, or rather, Count Stanislas Domb, +w- ski; through, the flaring scenes be. tween Cousin Martin and Chloe, a vigorous young woman who means to marry him; to Wimbledon Common on a 74 bus. AlI these scenes and people are handled by Margery Sharp with wit and swift penetration PAGE WE i n a hnnit that, basically, ,0*anAi001. the values in a young: girl's nytlXing.m. ing at the ..prepent Lipe Lillywhite will enhance .the author's secure repu- tation for coolly sophisticated comedy, PROGRAMMING Your present insurance may Increase the benefits for your dependents. cONSUMV-,, F.
