The story is set in the Strate reign of Henry VII, and deals Straits and Calcutta with the aftermath of the Wars of the Roses. The princi pal character becomes one of the King's most trusted instru- ments in founding modern, Eng- land, and the story marches to an emotional and uplifting close. There is first-class workmanship throughout the book, evidence of the true artist in construction, and the characters are not puppets of impossible romance, but living human beings as real as the peo- ple about us to-day. This is a novel to be highly recommended:
