Show 1 t Enthusiasm Greets Book by Margaret Maw Mrs. Margaret Maw, wife of Dr. Charles Maw, brings laurels to Provo with her first book, now off the Oxford University Press, "Nikoline's Choice," a brilliant story of family life in Utah in the 1880's. The book is slanted toward juvenile readers, but is judged by critics to be of sufficient merit to interest adults. The book is given a highly complimentary review, today in The Herald, in Frank Robertson's column, "The Chopping Block." The story behind the writing of the book, rivals the book itself, in interest Incidents of the story, which is true, were related by Mrs. Maw to her children when they were small. Two years ago, while she was visiting in the Eastern states with her three children Carlisle Maw, Margaret M. Blettner and Jean Florence M. Woodman, her daughters requested that she write down some of the charming stories they recalled from their childhood, so that they might be read to their own children. That was the beginning of "Nikoline's "Niko-line's Choice." Writing for her grandchildren was the only objective Mrs. Maw had in mind, until one day, when she chanced to see the buildings which house University Press, and decided to query the editor of Oxford Books for Boys and Girls. The editor asked to keep the unfinished manuscript which Mrs. Maw showed her. After a few days, the editor informed Mrs. Maw that she was very much Interested in the story and requested a complete draft of the entire book. From there, it was long months of cutting, L ..J.!

Mrs. Maw, when interviewed at her home in Oreni, Friday, was modest in her own valuation of the book, which has brought acclaim ac-claim from leading literary authorities. auth-orities. She appears surprised at the whole hearted reception her book has received. Mildred I. Reid. who is nationally nation-ally known as a literary critic, has expressed disappointment that the book was submitted as a juvenile publication. She felt that the story had possibilities as a best seller on a par with "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and "How Green Was My Valley." The Mutual Improvement Association As-sociation of LDS church has recommended the book for the MIA reading course for 1947-48. When asked if she Intended Writing another book, Mrs. Maw .answered, "Of Course! I've already al-ready started it. I hope to make ft another juvenile book, a companion com-panion to Nikoline's Choice, in which I have merely attempted to reveal the truth as I have seen it among children." The author has always shown as much enthusiasm about other projects as is shown in her first book. She is well known in social circles in Provo, and as a successful success-ful business woman. She has been a teacher and has served on two boards of education. She has served as president of Utah Federation of Women's Clubs and Western Federation of Women's Clubs.
