"And a very good yarn it is, with not a dull page from first to
last. There is a flavour of _Westward Ho!_ in this attractive
book."--_Educational Review._
"An excellent story of adventure. Especially good is the
description of Mexico and of the dungeons of the Inquisition,
while Don Diego Polo is a delightful mixture of bravery and
humour, and his rescue of the unfortunate prisoners is told with
great spirit. The book is thoroughly to be
recommended."--_Guardian._
