...BONNEY FAMILY?Ruth Suckow? Knopf ($2.50). There are two old Bonneys, four little Bonneys?Warren, Sarah, Wilma & Wilfred. Mr. Bonney, a country clergyman, moves from the humble but well-beloved village of Morning Sun to a college town so that his children may have the advantage of college education. When this has had its effect, redheaded, eccentric Warren is a well-tamed professor; Sarah is a kind, sensible, placid young spinster; Wilma is married and faraway; Wilfred, who had especially liked rabbits or other animals, is dead in France.

Under the jacket, on which a jaundiced little shaver is pictured wading through a swamp of flowers, lies the story of a Tyrolean peasant, who, instead of a halo, carried a raven on his shoulder. Hugo Harpf, imagined as a very recent saint, toiled in his village, loved a peasant's daughter, went to Munich to learn how to paint and came home to work miracles. For this he was first killed and then worshipped. In its intention the story is not so much a satire as a critical footnote on the life...
