...GREAT FORGERY (501 pp.)-Edith Simon-Little, Brown...
This question was raised and left unanswered in actuality by the postwar trial of Holland's Han van Meegeren for forging Vermeers-the case that prompted Edith Simon to write this novel.

Last week, while waiting patiently in a long tourist line at the White House, Mrs. Edith Sprayberry, a schoolteacher from Rome, Ga., was startled when a guard tapped her on the shoulder, politely asked her name and those of her party. She gave them: Husband Jack, Daughters Susan, 12, and Alice, 8, and Son Tom, 10. Without explanation, all were directed out of the line, ushered into the Cabinet Room, then motioned into a larger...
