Love in. June. By Keble Howard.. (Chapman and Hall. 6s,)—
Mr. Koble Howard gives us a rather pretty and entirely harmless little idyll in Love in June. A story based on the falling in love of a village maiden with a wandering artist cannot be called original ; but the details are not badly worked out, and the portrait of the mistress of an ideal country inn is drawn with much sympathy and good taste. If Mr. Kahle Howard would publish the name and address of the inn, its fortune would at once be made. It is just the inn for which the greater part of the population of Great Britain look quite vainly each year as the summer holidays approach. And it is also, unfortunately, just the inn which only exists in fiction. The story may be recommended as possible reading for a hot 'afternoon, when the reader wishes to be quite sure that the book in his hand will not force him to think, from the first word to the end of the last chapter.
