About This Item
MP3 Audio CD. Most people would say that, to have good imagination is a virtuous trait. However, for one particular clerk working at a New York wool factory, the burden of having an overactive, highly imaginative mind takes over his life in a manner that he would not have been able to foresee prior to his engagement of boarding the faithful steamer ?Patience? with his somewhat more down to earth colleague.Bring Kinney's wild imagination and slight pinch of lack of honesty into the foreground, add a beautiful Irish lady, and allow events to unfold naturally; you'll soon have on your hands one of the most enjoyable and entertaining stories ever to come out of Richard Harding Davis' own remarkably creative imagination.An accomplished author and journalist, Richard Harding Davis has written many other intriguing tales of adventure and historical novels, such as The West from a Car Window, The Rulers of the Mediterranean, or his now famous early biography of Winston Churchill, Real Soldiers of Fortune. Among them, few others had the unique brilliance and charm you can find in this story.The Make-Believe Man is essentially a well-written, oftentimes droll, and highly engaging adventure novel. Although not all that long, it provides readers with quite an extensive storyline, as we are introduced to characters such as the likes of Joseph Forbes Kinney, who seems to find adventures more easily than probably any character you may have met.An overall simple tale of travel, trouble and unusual circumstances, The Make-Believe Man will delight and impress you in equal measure. Modern day readers will find it a more than enjoyable change of pace, when compared to many of the dull and unimaginative adventure stories of today. An uncommon and critically well-received book, Davis' novel is just the thing you need to brighten up your Sunday afternoon.
