In the land of the lion and sun, or, modern Persia

by C. J. Wills

JOHN SQUIRE’S SECRET.

“The narrative is always bright. Whether the author is describing a dinner-party in Shiraz, or a Fourth of June at Eton, he is always readable; ... there is no doubt that he has written an amusing and ingenious story.”—St. James’s Gazette.

“There is delightful easy-going reading in Mr. C. J. Wills’ new novel.... Interesting sketches drawn from sporting and fashionable life, ... a pretty love story such as one finds in a comedy of manners, and all these elements are blended with a skill that is none the less praiseworthy because it nowhere shows traces of effort.... Sure to be widely read.”—Scotsman.

“A rollicking story.... Mr. Wills’ undeniable vivacity.”—The Times.
