A Story of La Pompadour
By MABEL WAGNALLS
A story possessing the five essential qualities that constitute greatness in a novel:—a plot "keenly dramatic" (Review of Reviews); "a wealth of charm of style," (N. Y. Press); such sustained interest that it has "not a dull line from beginning to end." (Pioneer Press, St. Paul); a pervading spirituality which makes it "clean and sweet" (Unity, Chicago); and an irrefutable accuracy of historic information whereby "the book has value" (Republican, Denver).
"It is many a long day since such an engaging little French heroine of fiction has been presented to the public as the reader finds in Destine, ... an innocent convent-bred girl who attends Pompadour as one of her ladies-in-waiting."—Sun, Baltimore.
"A splendid picture of that magnificent court.... It is made very real by the author."—Globe-Democrat, St. Louis.
"Rapid action, ... truthful and interesting pictures of the times."—Times, N. Y.
"It is not often in these piping times of publishing that the tired reader comes to such a delightful stopping-place on the book-littered path of fiction as 'The Palace of Danger.'"—Bulletin, San Francisco.
12mo, 311 pages. Four splendid illustrations by John Ward Dunsmore.
