Maurice Baring : C
'Owing to his giving me the books, am now reading C by M. Baring. I am surprised to find it as good as it is. But how good is it? Easy to say it is not a great book. But what qualities does it lack? That it adds nothing to one's vision of life, perhaps. Yet it is hard to find a serious flaw.'

Saturday 18 June 1927: 'I read -- any trash. Maurice Baring; sporting memoirs.'

Maurice Baring : C
I offer you my sincere & almost violent congratulations on 'C'. I have been greatly impressed by it. It held me throughout its immense length.

Maurice Baring : Cat's Cradle
I’ve finished Baring’s 'Cat’s Cradle'. 770 large pages. Well, it isn’t so bad, though highly curious in technique. . . . I’m now reading Stendhal’s 'Promenades dans Rome'.

Maurice Baring : Cat's Cradle
I read C.C. ['Cat's Cradle'] very carefully in a fortnight: about 50 pp. a day. It held me all right, though not quite so strongly as 'C'. As with 'C'., 'C. C.' is strongest & best in the last ¼ or 1/3. . . . My boy, you may have made 70 corrections in the new edition, but there are plenty more to make. . . .
