"Usper-Lonpox." By Stephen Graham. Macmillan & to., Ld.
London.
A new book, by Stephen Graham, called ''Under-London,"' is of a type very uncommon in this day of the psycho-analytical novel. It is with a feeling of satisfaction that one reads a story of boys' lives ina suburban district and finds that the charm of it lies in its simplicity and faithfulness of portrayal. Mr, Graham in his closing words offers an explanation for his chronicle, saying that he has thought it worth while "because Dolly has begotten Dolly and Dennis has begotten Dennis, and Under-London is begetting Under-London all the while. And if Under-London knows little of itself the upper world knows Jess."
Because- the chronicle gives those of us who have tired a little of modern books such satisfaction, so we feel just a little—though ever so little—disappointment that it is not richer still in incident and character study. - G.D.
