FROM OLD AGE TO YOUTH
“Then They Fulled Down the Blinds.”
by Guy I’ocock (London: Dent)
Mr. Pocoek in his latest novel tells the life story of a gentle, ineffective man. He tells it. in reverse order, beginning with Caley Thatchor as nu old man near Io death and busy collecting notes for nil autobiography. As he does so, old Caley finds bis memories of the past becoming clearer and richer. Hi.s history is recalled in .stages, working backward through middle age and rhe complications of an unsuitable marriage to his schoolmastering days before he gave them up to work in a publisher's office and so to youth and childhood and Hie earliest memories of the nursery. Mr. Poeoek makes it: a pleasant tale, thoroughly entertainiug in its mood of charming sentiment.
