This book tells Strindberg's biography, criticises and explains his
many writings, and describes truly yet sympathetically the struggles
and difficulties of his life and the representativeness and greatness
in him and his work. Miss Hageby has written a fascinating book on a
character of great interest.

TRAINING FOR THE TRACK, FIELD & ROAD
By Harry Andrews, Official Trainer to the A.A.A., etc.
_Crown 8vo, cloth, with illustrations, 2/- net._
The athlete, "coming and come," has in this volume a training manual
from the brain and pen of our foremost athlete trainer to-day.
Every runner knows the name of Harry Andrews and his long list of
successes--headed by that wonderful exponent, Alfred Shrubb. It is,
however, for the self-training man that the Author explains the
needed preparation and methods for every running distance. This
most authoritative and up-to-date book should therefore prove of
immeasurable assistance to every athlete, amateur or professional,
throughout the Empire.
