This extraordinary tale plunges the reader at the first word into a mystery so deep, a story so vital, that one reads page after page in the spirit that holds the reader of, for example, ‘Treasure Island,’ though the story is not a story of some distant and undiscovered shore. True, there are a treasure and a treasure-hunter. True, there are wreckers, traitors, villains. True, there are youth, innocence, beauty. But all these belong, not to the high seas, but to the restless tide of human life and love which seethes and boils on this dry land of England now. There is something in the author’s work which allies him with Dumas, with Victor Hugo, with the weaver of the legends of the ‘Arabian Nights.’ He holds you; he fascinates you. He brings the breath of old-time romance down to the HERE and the NOW.
