Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 248: Founded 1815 William Allen White has long been regarded as a Will Rogers of journalism, a beloved philosopher of the West. He is the proprietor and editor of the Emporia Daily and Weekly Gazette which is always enlivened by his shrewd yet kindly comment. His latest book, Puritan in Babylon, was an excellent study of that frost-bitten nonentity, President Coolidge. Henry Seidel Canby was an instructor in English until he became editor of the Saturday Review of Literature in 1924. After twelve years, Mr. Canby relinquished that post and has since been one of their contributing editors. He is chairman of the board of judges for the Book-of-the-Month Club. Houghton-Mifflin are publishing his newest book, Thoreau, of which "Two Women" is a chapter. It seems to us that a woman who has had published about seventy-five articles would be a professional writer, but Marie Kimball assures us that writing is one of her hobbies. Her vocation is being the wife of Fiske Kimball, director of the Philadelphia Museum, and her avocations include cooking (she publishes in women´s magazines her culinary discoveries) and translating. Her literary expeditions began when she translated articles for the San Francisco Chronicle at twelve years of age. The list of books written by Reginald Wright Kauffman looks somewhat like a publisher´s book-list. He has been associated with Saturday Evening Post, Delineator and Hampton´s Magazine on their editorial staffs, was a war correspondent, and, as well as serious books and novels, he has written much juvenile fiction. He is also the author of numerous screen plays. Herbert Wright´s business is international law, so he should know the angles on diplomacy. He is a member of the executive council of the American Society of International Law, and has spent the last nine years as head of the department of politics at the Catholic University of America.
