Arthur Stuart Menteth Hutchinson and Sir Philip Gibbs are two prolific relics of World War I. Now each is doing, as best he can, his literary bit for Britain in World War II. In a literary sense, neither has a very high ceiling...
Robert Hichens' The Garden of Allah, published in 1904, when he was 40, has sold about a million copies. Arthur Stuart Menteth Hutchinson's If Winter Comes, published in 1921, when he was 42, sold 558,649 copies in the U. S. alone.

Twelve years ago the huge success of the novel If Winter Comes caused its shy author, Arthur Stuart Menteth Hutchinson, to flee precipitately from England to the Balearic Islands. The success of Author Hutchinson's latest tome, The Soft-Spot, a painfully mannered and prolix dissection of an Englishman with a talent for sponging, should cause him no such embarrassment whatever. Stephen Wain developed the habit of living off his half-brother Maxwell, a wealthy explorer, when they shared diggings in Bayswater, where Stephen studied architecture. Later, as a practicing...
