Baker's biography and the discussion of his writings is headed with his nom de plume "David Grayson" under which he lhas written a series of books which have been popular the United States.

But all the time he wanted to write books to please the name of David himself and under Grayson he savoured the full joy of self- expression. Hidden under that domino he in Britain as wTell as could stray where he would and utter what ever might rise to his lips." is not In another place in the article is found, "Friendship, the thank heaven, monopoly of the intellectual highbrows and I gladly proclaim myself one of the thou sands of friends who have sprung up from his ( B a k e r ' s) tilled fields.
