will."?
His "The Romance of a Peo-
ple;" published by Hebrew Pub-
lishing Co., is a volume deserving
of particular interest.
This fine book, illustrated by
Rafaello Busoni, contains a com-
plete birdseye view of the history
of our people. Naturally, it re-
sorts to extreme brevity. But this
is just the point that commends
the volume of 238 pages, includ-
ing Glossary and Index, for
young readers.
Mr. Fast knows how to ap-
proach his subject matter to the
youth. He describes the various
phases of the long history of the
Jew in the simplest terms, and
this book should therefore have
a large following. -
Of interest is the two-para-
graph conclusion to the book:
"As we said, this is. not a story
