THE
Sprightly Romance of Marsac
Illustrated by GUSTAV VERBEEK
12mo. $1.25
MARSAC is a real discovery of Miss Seawell’s. His character is but hinted at in the epithet “sprightly,” and the way in which the wit and good nature of this Bohemian of the Latin Quarter triumph over adverse circumstances and land him and his friend Fontaine in affluence and bliss is set forth in a remarkably brisk narrative that recalls Mürger. The illustrations are numerous and as cleverly conceived and executed as the story.
One of the brightest and most sparkling stories of last year.—Detroit Free Press.
