This Week's Books

A STREAK of humour, a breath of that creative spirit that transmutes the leaden facts of travel into gold, runs through Tiger Trails in Southern Aldo, by Dr. Richard L. Sutton, of the University of Missouri (Henry Kimpton. 10s. 6d.). The photographs arc rather amateurish, but the style is not : the author has some kind things to say about British officials, and all shikaris should enjoy this book. Readers should not expect too much, however : it is very discursive and light and pleasant.
