Martignoni (5 12 pp.; Grosset & Dun lap; $4.95), is the year's bargain in children's books, a fat, discriminating collection of writing from Beatrix Potter to Phyllis McGinley, and illustrations by such immortals as Kate Greenaway, Arthur Rackham, Palmer Cox and others nearly as good.

Like certain famous beer-hall conferences conducted some 20 years ago, this conference had a leader-a tubby, broad-shouldered ex-German named Reinhold Schairer-and a conspiratorial air, but its ideology was far different. In the minds of the conferees the outlines of a new world order took definite shape...
