| WARD, LOCK & CO.'S NEW FICTION |
A Wonder for
Wise Men
By
Wallace B. Nichols
THOUGH an historical romance, this book is much more than that, for its theme touches present-day ideas in a remarkable manner, especially as concerns the hideous uselessness of war. It is set in the reign of Henry VII and deals with the aftermath of the Wars of the Roses. The principal character becomes one of the King’s most trusted instruments in the founding of modern England, and the story marches to an emotional and uplifting close. This is an historical novel where the characters are not puppets of impossible romance, but living human beings as real as the people about us every day.
