A THATCHED ROOF

by Beverley Nichols ‧ RELEASE DATE: Dec. 6, 1933

(Report on this title was promised in the last bulletin. Here it is -- heading the list of MUST BOOKS, not only by virtue of the healthy sale of DOWN THE GARDEN PATH last season, but on its own merit.) An utterly enchanting book, which is ostensibly a sequel to its predecessor, but stands bravely on its own feet and makes the house in the garden come alive under loving hands. A book that is ready made for everyone who owns or has owned or wants to own a little house in the country, and a missionary for the lost souls who think they are incurably wedded to city streets. Humor and poetry and enchantment are found in its pages. Mrs. M., the inveterate manager of other folk's business, the Professor, with his oddities of scientific investigation, and the perfectly named Undine all come in again. And the reader shares Mr. Nichols' tremors over the housekeeper he yearned to oust from her cushy job, but dared not face with his convictions of her inadequacy. An ideal gift book and a plus book for all your discriminating customers. May be obtained boxed with DOWN THE GARDEN PATH, or sold separately.
