Lancaster, G. B. The spur. †$1.50. Doubleday.
“Any one who knows aught of Australian or Island life, of sheep farms, or copra gatherers and traders, will respond to this vivid writing, as those who know India used to respond to Kipling.” (Outlook.) “The spur to smite was a cool, calculating man of the world named Haddington, and the spurred smiter an Australian youth who had it in him to be something of a Kipling. Detecting merit in the boy’s literary beginnings, Haddington induced him to sell himself to him for seven years.... The book is the story of Kin’s struggle as an honest, clean, impulsive, brave fellow under this contract and his futile efforts to free himself from it.” (Lond. Times.)
