In the past decade there has been a tremendous growth of interest in the literature of British Commonwealth countries, yet the standard histories of English literature have never given more than passing attention - if any - to works produced outside Britain and the United States. This new series, inaugurated with the volume on Australia and New Zealand described below, has been initiated to fill a longstanding need; future volumes will survey the literatures of Canada, the Caribbean countries, Africa, and Asia.

Bird Life in Wington: Practical Parables for Young People

Here are thirty striking stories that creatively teach the Chritian way of life by telling about the various birds who live in the imaginary town of Wington. Applying human faults and foibles as well as Christian wisdom and virtues to the bird characters, author John Calvin Reid skillfully, and with delightful humor, makes problems of right and wrong become clear and uncomplicated. The stories are tellingly applicable and readily understood by young children. Adults too will enjoy Reid's clever stories about Bing Canary, Mr. Mockingbird, Gertie Goose, Hoo-Hoo Owl, the Oriole family, Pastor Penguin, Senator Starling, and many others.
