INTRODUCTION: - T r bso ok seems to me to be unique in literature. It cannot be classified, it is so unlike anything else. It is not a novel there is no plot, no mental conflict, no developmentapart from Beviss own development in self-reliance and restraint during the few weeks which the story covers. It is not strictly an autobiography, for though Bevis is undoubtedly the author, the story is limited in time and idealised in fact and outlook. It is not even a series of delightful stories of childhood united with consummate skiU to form a book-such as Kenneth Grahames Dream Days, and The Golden Age. But, for all that, it is fine literature, the work of a man of genius. Perhaps one might call it a prose Epic-the epic of boyhood. Looking at it in this way, one begins to feel that its greatness lies in this that it deals in masterly fashion with the things in life and experience that are unchanging though ever new. The supreme verse epics sweep us along on waves of glorious poetry that have come swinging down the centuries, on to a wonderful plane that altogether transcends experience. But where, to-day, are the gods of Homers Olympus What mind can accept the Hell of Dante Or who can consider Miltons idea of Creation without a smile The great epics remain unmatched in power and majestg but creeds have died, and mens outlook has changed beyond all recalling since even the latest of the epics was composed...
