A Tale of the Land of the Incas. By G. MANVILLE FENN. With 12 full-page
pictures by GORDON BROWNE, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, 6_s._
The tale is of a romantic lad, who leaves home to seek his fortune in
South America by endeavouring to discover some of that treasure which
legends declare was ages ago hidden to preserve it from the Spanish
invaders. He is accompanied by a faithful companion, who, in the
capacity both of comrade and henchman, does true service, and shows
the dogged courage of the English lad during the strange adventures
which befall them.
"Told with admirable force and strength. Few men other than Mr.
Fenn have the capacity for telling such stories as this, and we do
not remember to have seen one of his productions which has exceeded
it in merit."--_Scotsman._
"There could be no more welcome present for a boy. There is not a
dull page in the book, and many will be read with breathless
interest."--_Journal of Education._
