“Highly dramatic scenes and characters are provided in this volume.... The very ample dramatis personae include Corsican bandits, supra-beautiful maidens, members of the aristocracy, ill-favored ruffians both imported and domestic, and ghosts. Very exciting events transpire and ... slaughter is plethoric.”—Lit. D.

An unsatisfactory novelization of a satisfactory play whose principal characters are “a despotic mother-in-law, an Anglomaniac dude, and a Bostonian girl fresh from Vassar. The hero, Prince Karl, is a sort of Jekyll and Hyde character, only in the novelization the character is accompanied by considerable buffoonery.” (Outlook.)
“The plot is commonplace, and the dialogue has little wit. An unusual but characterless feature is the use of the historical present in the telling of the story.”
