THE SILVER PENCIL

by Alice Dalgliosh ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 9, 1944

Written as fiction, this reads as a ""might-be-true"" story of an English girl, born in Trinidad, who became an American citizen. With a good pace of plot -- with unerring sense of the essential quality of each of the backgrounds that contributed to Janet Laidlaw's development, -- Trinidad, England, the U.S., Nova Scotia -- and with a penetrating and sympathetic insight into Janet's personality and the problems that grew out of it -- the author has given us one of the finest stories of the season, a story that has much to give of basic internationalism and good will.
