WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT
For a short space Mr. Riley forsook the white for the red rose, and wroteThe Lady of the Lawnas a result. He has now definitely returned to his own country, and in his new novel is told the story of Maniwel Drake, who has lost an arm; but maintains his cheerful and genial nature, and Baldwin Briggs, whose motto is “All for my-sen.”The story deals with one of those contrasts of conflicting personalities that Mr. Riley loves to draw. There are dramatic episodes as well as character studies, and the local colour that Mr. Riley loves to introduce. Above all there blows through the book the breath of the Moors, without which a Riley book would not be a Riley book.
