Four New Titles From Established Writers
A brief review notes mixed brilliance among four children's books. Miroslav Sasek’s This is Israeli shows wavering sparkle amid Bible passages and modern contrasts. Hardie Gramatky’s Bolivar fails to equal Little Toot, while Hans Fischer’s Puss in Boots delights with witty, sophisticated yet simple illustrations. Roger Duvoisin’s Veronica uses humor to portray an oversized hippopotamus finding visibility in the city.

Thoughtful analysis of Labour and Magee's New Radicalism
The book argues Labour hinges on three factions: radicals pushing reform, traditionalists split between conservatives and neo Marxists, and opposition minded critics. Magee warns that internal conflict threatens Labour’s future unless it embraces radical change while avoiding relics of the old guard.

Paradise Reclaimed by Halldor Laxness Review
A satirical tale rich in simplicity and rural life. The author links Steinar to Harald Battle-Tooth and Denmark, travels to Utah, and pits Protestant frugality against earthly paradise. The Nobel laureate’s wit, critique of high places, and social satire are highlighted alongside references to Island and Riders in the Chariot.
