ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT NOVELS OF THE SPRING.
Captain Dieppe: By Anthony Hope, Author of "The Prisoner of Zenda," "Rupert of Hentzau," etc., etc. Crown 8vo, cloth, 5s. net.
In this novel, Anthony Hope, after a long interval, returns again to similar scenes that formed the background of his famous novel "The Prisoner of Zenda."
Captain Dieppe, adventurer, servant of fortune, and, if not a fugitive, still a man to whom recognition would be inconvenient and perhaps dangerous, with only fifty francs in his pocket and a wardrobe in a knapsack might be seen marching up a long steep hill on a stormy evening. Later he finds himself before a castle bordering on a river and his curiosity is roused by finding only one half of the house lighted up. He meets the Count of Fieramondi, hears from him a strange story, and of course takes an active interest in his affairs.
The story, which has a powerful love interest running through it, tells of his many adventures.
The Test: By Sybil Spottiswoode, Author of "Her Husband's Country," "Marcia in Germany," etc. Cloth, 6s. net.
