ESSAYS BY ROBERT LYND
“Searchlights and Nightingales.” essays by Robert. Lynd, illustrated by Yvonne Bendall (Loudon: Dent).
A part from the welcome readily accorded to a new collection of essays by the incomparable Robert Lynd, this book has the added interest for New Zealanders of being illustrated by a young M'ellington artist, Miss Yvonne Bendall. Iler clever drawings have an appropriate touch of fantasy and in their humour neatly match the text. Mr. Lynd is his usual charming self, gently but firmly disagreeing with established opinion on a wide variety of subjects. The stress of the times has not impaired his mellowed judgment and the discerning reader will delight to share his personal pleasures.
