His romance was, and in many cases still is, the search for winners, an adventure in its way as perilous and, for aught I know, as exciting as the search for the Holy Grail. Now a new generation has arisen, the second, and in some cases the third, since the beginning of compulsory education, as it is somewhat euphemistically called, a generation to which the public libraries open wide their doors and to which the booksellers offer the best books at the lowest possible price. Despite the war and... despite the rise in the cost of living, this new generation is better fed and better clothed than its predecessors. Its life is still hard, in these days tragically hard, but the mass of the people have learned that living may be life, and that life may be, as Barrie says of death, c an awfully fine adventure. ' The new generation is resent- ful of monopoly and privilege, and while it is protesting against the finer material possessions of the world remaining in the hands of the minority it is also claiming, partly from curiosity, partly through class antagonism, partly from the yearning for a larger and fuller life, the enjoyment of that great national imaginative heritage to which, among other 15 people, the son of a Stratford butcher, a Bed- fordshire tinker, the son of a London ostler, and a man who spent his boyhood in a blacking factory, have made such splendid contributions.
