Roberts, Theodore. [Brothers of peril.] [†]$1.50. Page.
The two brothers of peril are a brave Indian boy and a young English cavalier seeking adventure in the New world. The scenes are laid in Newfoundland among the Beothic Indians. The author says: “I have dared to resurrect an extinct tribe for the purposes of fiction. I have drawn inspiration from the spirit of history rather than the letter. But the heart of the wilderness, and the hearts of men and women, I have pictured in this romance of olden time as I know them to-day.”
[*] “A well-fancied tale of old Newfoundland.”

“A rarely good tale of adventure in which the characters are vividly drawn and the interest is never allowed to fall below the properly breathless point.”
