THE SILVER TRUMPET Owen Barfield; Illustrated by Betty Beeby— Once in a wonderfully odd and unusual place called The Mountalny Castle, there lived two beautiful Princesses named Violetta and Gambetta, who looked so much alike the King appointed The Lord High Teller of the Other from the Which just to tell them apart; here was where The Little Fat Podger also lived, and cured the King’s megrims with his jokes, japes, jests, gibes and pranks, and his noodledum, nincompoopery, somersaults and capers. Here, one fine day, riding a white horse, and wearing glit- teringsilverarmour, and carryinga beautiful SilverTrumpet, came the handsome Prince Courtesy, who fell in love with Princess Violetta and became King. But they did NOT live happily ever after, and this is the story of what happened: of how The Silver Trumpet was lost; of the wicked Princess Gambetta and what she did; of the Amalgamated Princesses and their strange ways; of old Miss Thompson and her remarkable magic; of little Princess Lily, who was afraid of Toads; of brave Prince Peerio, who walked halfway around the world; and of how, at the end, The Silver Trumpet was found again, and happiness returned to stay at The Mountainy Castle. 160 Pages.

readers. As in the companion volume, God With Us, the author shows her sensitivity to the world of young people. Using the tent as a symbol of God in the midst of his people, as it was in the time of the Old Testament, Mrs. Radius draws many interesting parallels and makes observations of truths applicable to young people today.
