Much Delusion. By Gertrude Spinney. (Arnold. 7s. 6d. net.)—Althpugh !giss

Spinney has not succeeded in producing so romantie an atmosphere as in The Painted Castle, Much Delusion is- a very entertaining little book. The reader is left in doubt as to who is the deluded person at the seance in the Vicar's study. This, however, does not matter much, as the love story of the disguised singer is Much more attractive than the spiritualistic theme.
