THE NOVELS OF HENRY GREEN
SIR.—In fairness to Mr. Philip Toynbee I should like to be allowed to correct a misleading impression given by our advertisement in your issue of March 20.
In referring to. The Novels of Henry Green, by Edward Stokes, we quoted Mr. Toynbee as saying : 'I can think of no writer of English prose whose individual tone and vision have impressed themselves more clearly on my mind.' In a preceding sentence which was unfortunately and wrongly omitted by.4.ts for reasons of space, Mr. Toynbee made it quite ckair that he was referfing to the writers of a particular period and not to the whole of English literature.: Fie Wrote: 'There were those, and I was one of them, who thought that Green's novels were among the most interesting and exciting to appear in the years which surrounded the last war. And when I look back on that period I can think of no writer' etc.
We regret that by our omission we unnaturally ,
enlarged Mr. Toynbee's judgment,-,--Yours faithfully, I. M. PARSONS Chairman The Hogarth Press Ltd.,
