Among recent acquisitions of the rapidly-growing Randolph Public Library are two which are already best-sellers and should be read by everyone interested in modem literature. “Beyond Sing The Woods” is the first nov<i cl TiGiTdhMWWCih..* Norwegian who writes of the woods folk of his native country. Gulbrans sen has taken the simple people of 19th century Norway and invested them with the epic qualities of legendary heroes, yet preserving in them a warm, human, familiar feel ing. “Beyond Sing The Woods” sur passes the limitations of the usual modem, sophisticated novel, for it combines the simplicity and noble wisdom of other days with all the knowing sharpness of today. An im mediate favorite in Europe, this book has continued its popularity in America, having been the April choice of the Literary Guild. “Roll River” is by an author fami liar to all readers of American historical stories, James Boyd. Here he departs from tracing early Ameri can life to deal with the period from 1880 to the present. Boyd again in creases his reputation as a delineator of rich human characterizations, for the steady flow of his narrative, and for his moving drama.
