By Patrick O'Brian-From the author of
Testimonies
and
The
Catalans,
twenty-five stories that range from the mountains
and streams of the British Isles to the Mediterranean coast of
France. Patrick O'Brian ''has a power of bringing near to the

THE FROGS
by
Aristophanes
An English Version
By Dudley Fitts-Matching the wonderful rowdy spirit of
Aristophanes' great comedy, this verse translation has all the
wit and verbal facility which Dudley Fitts brought to his re–
cent version of the
Lysistrata.
"The laughter is enormous, of
course," as he says in his introduction, "but the poem transcends
topicality and fun, and may even have a meaning for our own
day."

MONEY MONEY MONEY
By David Wagoner-"It is a compelling story well told, the
sordid characters lit by many flashes of insight in whose
flares we can see reflections of our own faces. As a comment
on the age in which we have the misfortune to live it is graphic
and brilliant."-WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS

CORTES AND MONTEZUMA
By Maurice Collis- uThe peculiar merit of this book is that it
escapes from the conventional attitudes towards the conquest
of Mexico and approaches the subject largely through the way
of thought which was natural to the Mexican Indians of those
days.... The result is that a rattling good historical story has
broken into new ground, and Cortes and Montezuma are pre–
sented in a newer and more reasonable
light." - The Times Lit–
grary Supplement. End-paper maps and 10 ilbustraticms. $4.00
