Oppenheim, Edward Phillips. Man and his kingdom. †$1.50. Little.
Love, intrigue and revolution in a South American state make a riotous setting for Mr. Oppenheim’s story. The man of the hour is a wealthy young Englishman who sides neither with the revolutionists nor yet with the president’s party, but is a friend to both. His Beau Desir, a fertile valley near the town, with two hundred Englishmen to till it would fain express the temper of his neutrality, but the disquieting elements of the town creep into it. There are lively quarrels, attempted murders, and thrilling escapes, all of which have local color and atmosphere.
Oppenheim, E. Phillips. [Master mummer.] †$1.50. Little.
