THE GOLDEN MAGNET:
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, 6s.
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.
