s verse. "Faces
in the Dawn" will, however, be their introduction to him as a novelist.
The same qualities that have served to raise his poetry above the common
level help to distinguish this story of a German village. The theme of
the book is the transformation that was wrought in the lives of an
irritable, domineering German pastor and his wife through the influence
of a young German girl and her American lover. Sentiment, humor, and a
human feeling, all present in just the right measure, warm the heart and
contribute to the enjoyment which the reader derives in following the
experiences of the well-drawn characters.

"The Daffodil Fields"
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net_

"Mr. Masefield's new poetical drama is a piece of work such as only
the author of 'Nan' and 'The Tragedy of Pompey' could have written,
tense in situation and impressive in its poetry.... In addition to
this important play, the volume contains some new and powerful
narrative poems of the sea--the men who live on it and their ships.
There are also some shorter lyrics as well as an impressive poem on
the present war in Europe which expresses, perhaps, better than
anything yet written, the true spirit of England in the present
struggle."
