Stevenson, this book includes a short novel and several short stories. The novel is about the adventures of Kenneth Leslie, a young man who answers an advertisement that involves him in "theft" of a valuable picture, ownership of which is disputed. He unintentionally picks the same night that some other thieves are trying to steal the painting. Hijinks ensue. It's okay, readable but forgettable. The short stories are a bit darker than most of D.E. Stevenson, presumably written when she was still trying to find her style. I'm glad she did. These stories are of note to anyone who is a DES fan, but not the best place to start for a newbie. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Must be of good appearance and free from dependants - and finds more than he dreamed of: fishing, art, family skulduggery, rogues, thieves and fisticuffs, friendship - and romance. Also included are four short stories, Moira, The Mulberry Coach, The Secret of the Black Rock, The Murder of Alma Atherton, and a novella, Where the Gentian Blooms. Previously unpublished, this is one of the manuscripts recently 'Found in the Attic' by the author's grand-daughter. It was probably written in the late 1920s, and foreshadows her later romances and family stories with that little humorous twist of something extra Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
