THE YELLOW WAGON
By
CHARMAN EDWARDS
A beautiful woman, destined to be England's most famous actress, born amid the glamour yet hardship of that picturesque and now almost obsolete institution of rural England, the travelling theatre. Against this coloured background and that of the West-end stage is the story of the men who craved her for her beauty alone. Here is no impossible heroine who survives her many ordeals unscathed—Sheila Fitzpatrick is but human after all—but the reader's sympathy will be with her to the end.

Mr. Edwards writes in a manner that holds one to his story. Characterisation comes easy to him. He has a facility for sustained suspense and he constructs with admirable economy.
