My Adventures in Bolshevik Russia. By Odette Keun. (John Lane.

58.)

The experiences of Mlle. Kenn were of the kind to which we have become accustomed since the " Red " bogy bared his teeth at us from the docile columns of startled politicians. It is interesting to compare it with records like that of Mr. Albert Williams (recently reviewed in this paper), and though they scarcely tally at any point it would be hard to say which was the more accurate. Certainly Mlle. Keim is the more exciting, and she has put her practice as a novelist to good use. It is a document to be referred to with circumspection, but a romance which may be read eagerly.
