In speaking of this series, Mr. Sabatini says, “I have set myself the task of reconstructing in the fullest possible detail and with all the colour available from surviving records a group of more or less famous events. I have selected for my purpose those which were in themselves bizarre and resulting from the interplay of human passions, and whilst relating each of these events in the form of a story, I compel that story scrupulously to follow the recorded facts and draw on my imagination merely, as one might, to fill in the outlines which history leaves grey.”
