Literary Thriller
A XEW novel by Lord Tweedsmuir, 1 **■ Governor-General of. Canada, encountered an appreciative press in Britain. The novel is called “The Island of Sheep.” The Yorkshire Post says: “Lord Tweedsmuir is probably the greatest living exponent (t$ the literary thriller. He brings to this sometimes despised form of authorship the perfect prose of Air. dolui Buchan, the historian, and a descriptive power unequalled in the whole history of the thriller. “Perhaps it is a pity that such talents are wasted on a book destined to be road in hundreds of railway carriages and thousands of deck chairs. Nevertheless they play no small part in adorning the tale with continuous, breathless excitement.”
