LIBRARY NEWS By the Librarian BOON ISLAND by Kenneth Roberts, published by Doubleday & Co. The fans of this author will welcome a new novel —a shipwreck story based on a classic disaster. All along the New England coast are rocky teeth, tiny Islands with no other vegetation than seaweed and sea gulls are the only inhabitants. Boon Island is north of the Isle of Shoals. Here in 1710 an English merchant vessel bound for Portsmouth was wrecked. The northeaster flung the captain and his crew to safety on the rocks and here they survived. The story describes the cruel bitter cold struggle for existence for almost a month on this inland. And the development of real character in these men. For circulation after January 3.
