A Pree Solitude. By Alice Perrin. (Chatto and Windus. 2s.
65.) —Novel-readers who like stories of India will always welcome a fresh volume from the pen of Mrs. Perrin. A Frits Solitude is one of the best things she has done,and her descriptions of the Siwirla Valley at the foot of the Himalayas will make her readers fully understand the enthusiasm for his home felt by Benjamin Wade, the hero. Mrs. Perrin is always interested in the Eurasian question, and her portrait of the Chandler family, whose English blood is running very thin, will make English people appreciate the great difficulties which the problem presents. The story is well written, the details being vividly given, and the whole picture carefully finished. It deserves to be more than the amusement of an idle hour, and is one of the few recent novels which would repay re-reading.
