Chicago, Herbert S. Stone and Company, Eldridge Court, [Printed by R. R. Donnelley and Sons Company at the Lakeside Press], MDCCCCI (1901)., 1901. Very Good. [1st edition] ; 2 pp. 1 leaf, 459 pp., 1 leaf. ; 19 cm. ; LCCN: 01-31640 ; LC: PZ3.M139; PS3525.A187; Dewey: 813.5 ; OCLC: 289215 ; light blue cloth with white lettering and decorations ; untrimmed ; a rather picaresque tale involving Americans and European adventures ; "The McCutcheon books show a wide variety of themes. They are American in scene for the most part and American in atmosphere. Where a romantic kingdom, nestled somewhere in the heart of Europe, has been chosen for a background, there is invariably an American hero who appears on the scene to play the principal part in the drama. The books are usually romantic to the point of incredulity, and yet it is this pleasant fairy-tale touch that makes them so entertaining. Where the author has gone in for realism he is not so successful; his ability is to write charmingly of pretty women and good-looking, chivalrous men, who live and love in the sunshine, with a fine disregard for the dangers of war and of politics, in the midst of which they flourish and grow strong."--Book News Monthly, Sept. 1914 ; First novel of a multi-part series ; spine faded ; hinges tight ; no dustjacket ; VG
