A BOOK OF GREAT BEAUTY
The Thrall of Leif the Lucky
A STORY OF VIKING DAYS
By OTTILIE A. LILJENCRANTZ
A remarkable book because it not only tells an unusual and fascinating story, with a novel and seldom used—and therefore interesting—historical background, but it was everywhere declared “the most beautiful book of fiction of 1902.” The striking appearance of the volume is due to the appropriate character of the type, initials, end-papers, etc., and to the wonderful pictures in color. It is the story of Alwin, the son of an English earl, and how he served the great Leif Ericsson on his famous voyage to the New World, and how he finally won his freedom and the beautiful Helga by his own high courage.
Nearer to absolute novelty than any book published this spring.—New York World.
The most beautifully illustrated and artistically ornamented romance published this year.—New York Journal.
