By H. M. RIDEOUT
The Twisted Foot.
A New Novel
Dragon’s Blood.
“Here is a fine spirit of adventure and of sturdy romance.”—Daily News.
“One of the best books which have appeared this year. From first to last the interest is sustained, and grips the reader in such a way as to make it impossible to put the book down. ‘Dragon’s Blood’ is a work not only to be read, but to be bought and kept on our bookshelf.”—Observer.
“There is a keen sense of actuality and a fine flavour of romance about this book. It is a fine tale. All the characterisation, both of the Europeans and of the natives, is adequate, and some of it admirable. The style is strong and pungent. No book of such promise has come from America since Frank Norris’s ‘Shanghaied.’”—Morning Post.
“Mr. Rideout has made his men and women good and bad, very much alive, and his clean, wholesome danger delightfully thrilling.”—Punch.
