“Mr Faris’s main difficulty is that he has so many things to write about.

FARNELL, IDA.[[2]] Spanish prose and poetry old and new. *$5.25 Oxford 860.8
20–22172
“‘Spanish prose and poetry, old and new.’ by Ida Farnell is a collection made in the belief that one of the consequences of the war will be an increased interest in the literature of the Latin races.
