The Wolf Man. By Alfred Machard. (Thornton Butter- worth. 7s.

6d. net.)—A man hunt is always interesting reading, and this account of the hunting of a French ex- convict is no exception to the rule. The book reads like a translation, but, nevertheless, carries the interest of the reader on through the various adventures of the unfortunate Bernier and his little son Boubuu to its happy but rather inevitable conclusion.
