Noted Authors Howard Fast,
Robert Nathan Turn Skills
to Writing Books for Youth

Two very distinguished writers
have turned their skill to writing
books for children, and the results
are a couple of stories that will
excite the young readers.
Howard Fast, whose writings on
the Maccabees, whose "Spartacus"
and "Citizen Tom Payne" are
powerful appeals for justice and
condemnations of oppressions, re-
sorts to fantasy in his new work,
"Tony and the Wonderful Door,"
published by Knopf.
It is a most delightful story, with
some fine illustrations by Imero
Gobbato, and the narrative holds
the reader's attention while inspir-
ing its readers to appreciate
dreams and a little dreamer.
The other excellent story for the
young, also published by Knopf,
is "Tappy," by Robert Nathan, and
the book's illustrator is Doris
Burn. Nathan is among the most
distinguished American novelists
and poets.
Fast's story is about Tony
MacTavish Levy, the boy who
had a vision, who dreamed about
the Indians, who thought of the
old tribes as kindly people. His
family was not affluent, they
lived in a poor neighborhood,
but in back of the Levy's yard
was a door that led to a dilapi-
dated area. But Tony dreamed
of lushy fields, of Indian abodes,
of the early residents of New
York, and when he thought of
them he lived his hours of salu-
tary dreams as if they were
reality.
He took these realities to his
school and he met with antagonism
from a teacher who called him a
liar. His dreams were branded a
lie, but to him they were real.
His father was annoyed, but the
family doctor believed in him and
soon learned the truth of a
dreamer's existence.
The secret of the story is con-
tained in Tony's bringing to Doc
Forbes a treasure, a deer-horn
headdress of a Great Lord of the
Iroquois Confederation. Then Isaac
Gilman, the curator of the Museum
of the American Indian, enters on
the scene. Doc Forman gets a
good price for the relic and the
upshot is that Tony, having been
marvels of the
introduced to
museum, now
now finds his ideal;
henceforth he abandons the won-
derful door that took him to
dreamland and he begins to visit
the museum instead as the admirer
of Indians and Indian history.
The background of Tony is as
interesting as the story itself.
His mother is half Indian. His
grandfather was Russian and
Lithuanian and Jewish, too, he
explained to his teacher Miss
Class when she molested him be-
cause she did not appreciate his
dreams and complained that he
lies.
There is great delight in this
wholesome story, and its approach
to the Indian theme provides
marvelous background for young
Americans.

Originally, Robert Nathan's story
was a novel for adults. "Journey
of Tapiola" fascinated many read-
ers with its charm which now is
transferred to "Tappy."
It is the story of an adventure
that commenced with Tappy, the
Yorkshire terrier, left his abode in
the home of a New York pub-
lisher. Tappy was joined by the
canary, which now wanted to be

called Richard instead of Dicky.
It was to be a mature undertaking
of their going on their own. They
meet up with the cooperating rat
Jeremiah who saves Tappy's life.
On the way they get together
with other beings, with a wren,
with a rabbit, with, other animals.
There is excitement galore and
when Detective Sergeant Murphy
finally catches up with them and
brings Tappy back to his masters
the adventure ends happily. Like
the adults' story, the youths' tale
is equally charming.
