Author of “Dr Nikola,” “A Cabinet Secret,” “The Lady of the Island,” etc.
_With Eight full-page half-tone Illustrations on Art Paper by_ A. TALBOT SMITH
This romance is, in the opinion of those who have been privileged to read it in M.S., Mr Guy Boothby’s best and most sensational tale, and is probably the longest story the author has written. The hero is Gilbert Penniston, a Devon worthy; time, a year after the Armada, and the _motif_ his ardent love for a very beautiful Spanish girl, saved from shipwreck. Jealousy, plottings, duels and many totally unexpected sensations, carry the reader on enthralled and breathless to the last page. The local colouring is excellent, and the value of the romance is enhanced by Mr A. Talbot Smith’s splendid and realistic illustrations.
