Mr. Green's unfinished novel Afood was written in the late twenties. He says: '... to establish a girl ... in a static situation where nothing is happening to her except her thoughts and feelings, is an impossible project for the novelist.'

Talk by Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir John Slessor, G.C.B., D.S.O., M.C.
The two lately published volumes, V and VI, of the Official History of the Second World War cover the vast field of the higher Allied direction of the war in its last two years-from the Quadrant Conference at Quebec in August 1943 to V-J Day. In his consideration of some of the military, logistic, and human questions raised by this account, Sir John Slessor draws on his own wide experience of high command and his close contacts with the supreme councils of strategic decision.
