SPECTATOR COMPETITION No. 135

Set by Marghanita Laski

Since literary fashion will eventually praise many best-sellers which at present it denigrates, competitors are invited to offer 150 words from their critical introductions to a reprint of one of the following : Winnie- . the-Pooh, Peter Pan, The Green Hat, The Forest Lovers, The Sheik.— Prize £5, which may be divided.

Entries must be addressed to the Spectator, 99 Gower Street, London, W.C.I, in envelopes marked " Competition," and must be received not later than September 24th. Results will be published in the Spectator of October 3rd.
