PAPERBACKS
Penguin’s publication of the unexpurgated “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” and the subsequent prosecution and trial have intensified interest in D. H. Lawrence, interest that Penguin’s have a natural inclination to try to satisfy. Among their new publications are “Love Among the Haystacks,” a volume of short stories, and “Mornings in Mexico” and “Etruscan Places,” these two in one volume. Also, they have issued as a Penguin Biography a new edition of Harry T. Moore’s “The Intelligent Heart,” a biography of Lawrence first published in hard, covers in Britain and the United States in 1955. New Pelican books include “Pioneers of Modern Design,” a revised and partly rewritten edition of Nikolaus Pevsner’s “Pioneers of the Modern Movement,” a study of the development of modern design. The new edition appears under . the title “Pioneers of Modern Design.” Other new Pelicans which contribute to modern knowledge and thought are “Radio Astronomy” by F. Graham Smith and “Health in .Childhood,” by Professor R. W. B. Ellis, Professor ot Child Life and Health at Edinburgh Unversity. Hodder and Stoughton’s list of paperbacks in the “Hodder” series includes such excellent popular fiction as Elizabeth Goudge’s “The Heart of the Family,” Anya Seton’s “The Turquoise,” Wmston Graham’s “Greek Fire,” and “The Treasure House of Martain Hew’s,” pne of E. Phillips Oppenheim’s great crime stories. Hodder’s also offer a paperback edition of “Operation Victory,” an account of victory in North Africa and Europe by General Sir Francis de Guingand, Lord Montgomery’s chief of staff. Under the title “Far Eastern Journal,” Donald Moore has compiled a picture of Asian countries. Hodder’s lighter fiction includes a new edition of the popular Hermina Black’s “Strangers Can Love,” and the publishers extend their range of discussion of moral issues in “God Our Contemporary.” Another of the new “Melbourne Paperbacks” series published by the Melbourne University Press to hand is “Fear Drive My Feet,” an account of the adventures of one man in the fighting in the savage New Guinea country in 1942 and 1943. A. E. W. Mason's famous “The Four Feathers” is published in paperback by John Murray, and in Collin’s “Pan” series appears a study of Commonwealth relations by Derek Ingram under the title, "Partners in Adventure.”
