A Few Words About
Archibald Marshall
J The question "what makes a book sell?" is pot always given the
same answer, but it is generally accepted that the most effectivo
force is "word-of-mouth advertising' Certain it is that tho
wide and ever-increasing popularity of Archibald Marshall may
be traced to that form of publicity. ,
q Archibald Marshall is a realist of innate skill who writes in a
leisurely and highly entertaining fashion of contemporary Eng
lish life. His characters livo and, as one critic has said, to know
them is "to meet and Jo associate on terms of happy intimacy with
delightful, well-bred, clear-minded men and women,"
fl Mr. Marshall's earlier books arc read as widely as his later ones.
This in itself is proof of the permanent value of his work.
l SIR HARRY, a new long novel from his pen, will be ready in
if November. .
