THE VOICE OF THE AIR

Miss Berckman, one of the most original entrepreneurs of that mutant genre--modern Gothic--permits Meriel Deakin to ease her own humiliation and hatred via a newly acquired interest in automata, first glimpsed in a London museum. She pursues their most gifted inventor of many years ago to France and to the household of a malicious old woman who permits her to handle his journal and his collection of figurines with voices that speak--or shriek. . . . A very decorative specialty item.
