...would not notice any plagiarism. Certainly the chemical explosion has been done before in every conceivable way and I cannot see that Mr. Foster's work is any great addition to the multitude. Mr. Jones' Choatesque drawing may be all very well, but I still think Maxfield Parrish is in no danger...
TOMORROW MORNING - Anne Parrish - Harpers ($2). Anne Parrish and her brother Dillwyn must have had a collection of aunts, grandmothers and female neighbors all of whom they loved until it hurt but who nearly drove them insane with fuss-budgeting, shilly-shallying, dibble-dabbling, microscopic solicitude and spiritual myopia. As the young authors-to-be grew up, quick-witted, sensitive, gay, they must have talked together for hours about these people and their plight - perhaps in a meadow like the dewy one in their book Knee-High to aGrasshopper - and been consumed by that uncomfortable emotion which is a mixture...
...literature, Anne Parrish's Victor Campion (The Perennial Bachelor) and Sherwood Anderson's Fred Grey (Dark Laughter) are proclaimed the best recent examples of "that cruel maldevelopment."

...Author was born to her subject, the daughter of a Worcester, Mass., judge. Like Novelist Anne Parrish (The Perennial Bachelor), she thumbed Godey Books in her nursery. She traveled in Europe and roamed as far as the University of Wisconsin for her education. During the War she farmeretted in Virginia. But Boston reclaimed her as a literary lady in the Houghton, Mifflin Co., where warm friends now thank fortune that her maiden novel is no hail-and-farewell. She married Albert Hoskins of Philadelphia last January, but with no Lancian translation of hymen vincit omnia. On the contrary, Husband Hoskins...
