The Pursuit of Mr. Faviel. R. E. Vernède.
6s.
“Mr. Vernède is able, by his cleverness and wit, to keep up the interest of this chase from start to finish. He writes with just that light touch that is necessary.... This most amusing, well-written book ends exactly as such a book should end—with a gasp and a laugh and a desire to read another story by Mr. Vernède.”—Academy.
As Dust in the Balance. Mrs. H. H. Penrose.
