"Well told and dramatically strong, it breathes again the spirit of Dumas and Bulwer-Lytton."—Portland Oregonian.
The Palace of Danger
A STORY OF LA POMPADOUR
By MABEL WAGNALLS
Author of "Stars of the Opera," "Miserere," etc.
"There have been few groups of characters who have been used more frequently in fiction than the members of the court of Louis XV., and there have been few attempts to make romance of their lives that are quite so delightful as this story. Around the heroine and hero Miss Wagnalls has spun a tale that has the quality of holding the reader's attention from first page to last. It is charged with dramatic movement and a wealth and charm of style."—New York Press.
