None of that critical clap-trap so despised (too strong a word, possibly) by Robertson Davies. Lynd had a relish for life that left book-chatters in the shade. Merriment with him was consistantly breaking through, and he was not afraid of ruffling the hair of such august critics as Thomas Stearns Eliot.

When one gets tired of reading Robert Lynd, one gets tired of reading. A pleasure to escape to Lynd's collections after the deadly dull book-chatters of one's own day. Lynd was a bookman who said what he meant and meant what he said.
