Stnear I don't think I have ever read a more
ghastly book than G cIte With The Windsors, of which its American publishers say " Occasionally a book is written with such skill, such werful conviction, that, however controversial its content IvIllbaY be, it must be read." It is the work of Mr. Iles Brody, 0„"0 came to America from Hungary, has written two books 8,4 gastronomy, and wears in his photograph what looks 1 suspiciously like an Old Etonian tie. It is supposed to be a iln°sre to A King's Story, and consists of 300 pages of alternatively in which the Duke and Duchess of Windsor are ar. denigrated and ridiculed with jaunty yet unctuous 1.071ce. It is documented chiefly with quotations from the less aigta..ble American gossip-writers, it bristles with inaccuracies, co t`it'. Brody's bumptious and insinuating style, laced un- $41vtileingly with righteous indignation, has a peculiar horror. °ItglY recommended as an emetic.
