SOME RECENT FICTION
"This Animal is Dangerous," by Beginald Campbell (Hodder and; Stoughton),' can bo cordially recommended as a novel of the jungle in which the human story is good but the animal story better. A new setting for a novel has been discovered by Mary Marlowe-who, in "Psalmist of the Dawn" (The Endeavour Press, Sydney), writes n romance which has Lord Howe Island as its'scene. The author knows this palm.creited speck in the Pacific intimately, anA she presents it as a meeting around for a specialist who is threatened with blindness ,and a light-opera singer recuperating from a voico breakdown. . If humour is wanted, "Inside Out!" by Geoffrey Ludlow (Harrap), can be recommended. It is about a young man who, escaping from an exclusive mental home, impersonates a bishop, a secret service agent, and finally a film director. His escapades.provide plenty of fun.
"Shabby' Tiger" is the title of a first novel by Howard Spring, published by Collins. It deals with various phases of life in Manchester and describe* Rome not very pleasant people, but it Is well written. ■;,'■■

Phillips Oppenheim (Hodder and Stoughton), and "The Man from Whitehall," by J. M. Walsh (Collins), are two fastmoving tales of mystery and adventure, full of excitement from cover to cover.
