Birds warbled, a little breeze bent the heads of the dandelions, and on the window sill of Mrs. Dunn’s kitchen a sweet-smelling huckleberry pie lay peacefully cooling on a tin plate. Then slowly and silently, from an upper window, a strange contraption began to descend upon the unsuspecting pie. It was shaped like a cross of wood, slightly larger than the pie tin. From each of its four points a nail protruded, head down. Around each nail were many turns of fine insulated copper wire. -

He paused, mopping his forehead, and looked out over the wide valley below, at the little toy blocks of houses, the red brick of the College buildings, and beyond them, the shining silver of the reservoir lake. Then he shouted over his shoulder, “Irene! Joe! Come on! It’s this way.” Irene Miller and Joe Pearson toiled up behind him. Joe’s long thin face was even gloomier than usual, and as he came to the flat stones at the summit he gave a loud, sad sneeze. “Bless you,” said Irene, switching her glossy dark pony-tail from side to side to drive away the gnats which buzzed around her face. -

Famous Black Entertainers of Today; illus. with photographs. Dodd, 1974. 159p. $4.50. Eighteen sketches of the careers of musicians, theatrical people, dancers, come- R dians, film people, etc. are included in this representation of some of the leading 6-9 black figures of the entertainment world. A few of the sketches are written by Abdul, most are based on interviews and appear in the form of dialogue; they are prefaced by a paragraph of background information. While many of the conversations touch on the problems of the black artist, the book as a whole should be of major interest because it reflects the struggles of all creative people and, of course, because of the special glamor of the performing arts. Some of the stars included are Alvin Ailey, Martina Arroyo, Aretha Franklin, Ron O'Neal, Diana Ross, Cicely Tyson, and Flip Wilson. The book would be fractionally more useful were the subjects identified by profession in the table of contents. Ames, Lee J. Draw 50 Animals. Doubleday, 1974. 50p. illus. $5.95. Save for a preface addressed to children and another "To the Parent or Teacher," M this compilation of drawings is without text and unpaged, with no index or table of 4-5 contents. -
