Hawkins, Anthony Hope. (Anthony Hope, pseud.). [Sophy of Kravonia.] †$1.50. Harper.
Sophy, an English girl of much spirit and no money goes to Kravonia to seek her fortune and, by a strange chance, saves the life of the crown prince who falls in love with her. The revolution which follows, the struggle between the supporters of her prince and those of his half-brother, and the part which Sophy, with the red star burning on her cheek, took in it all is stirring reading. Altho, by another chance of fate, she loses all she has gained, she carries with her from Kravonia a lasting memory of some enemies and many friends, of strife and conflict, of a crown won only to be lost, and of a great undying love.
