Nor is "Hill Rise" one of those dreary, unpleasant creations known as a "problem novel." It has a strong, virile, intensely exciting plot, full of vigorous action, sustained suspense, thrilling episode and continuous surprises. The character drawing is almost miraculous in its fidelity to human nature. The whole story is powerful, simple and intense. The sort of a narrative one cannot lay down unfinished.

"The Man in the Basement" is perhaps the strangest story ever written. Its every situation is out of the common and startlingly unique. It compares to the average detective or mystery romance as Sherlock Holmes compares with "Deadwood Dick" or some other dime novel hero. The characters, most of them are Danes, and the wild, breezy freedom and charm of the North are strikingly portrayed.
