A Way of Escape
WHEN Katharine Hull and Pamela Whitlock wrote “The Far Dis,ant Oxus,” their work was described as "a collaboration of genius” and many sceptics doubted the statement hat the authors were mere children. Certainly the book represented an extraordinary achievement for such young authors, but that it was no accident is proved by the appearance ■'f their second effort, “Escape to Persia,” which, far from being a ravel story as its title might suggest, ells of the escape of some London children to Exmoor and provides the reader with escape from boredom. Again the story is an excellent one, fill of action, simply written but exremely vivid, and with a character drawing that many much more mature writers would find it difficult to emulate. To say that the young authors tave lived up to their well-earned reputation is, perhaps, the highest praise that can be bestowed on their econd venture. (“Escape to Persia,” by Katherine Hull and Pamela Whitlock. Cape—T. Adams).
