If Winter Don't by Barry Pain is about Luke Sharpe's whimsical life with his wife in the Jawbones house in Halfpenny Hole, Surrey. Excerpt: "If Winter Comes" placed its author not only as a Bestseller, but as one of the Great Novelists of today. Not always are those royalties crowned by those laurels. Tarzan (of, if I remember rightly, the Apes) never won the double event. And I am told by superior people that, intellectually, Miss Ethel M. Dell takes the hindmost. Personally, I found "If Winter Comes" a most sympathetic and interesting book. I think there are only two points on which I should be disposed to quarrel with it. Firstly, though Nona is a real creation, Effie is an incredible piece of novelist's machinery."
