The Ward of King Canute
A ROMANCE OF THE DANISH CONQUEST
ByOTTILIE A. LILJENCRANTZ
This book is for those who are weary of conventional romances and are searching for a story that does not give them the dusty and worn-out historic trappings with which they are over familiar. The story of Randalin, the beautiful Danish maiden who served King Canute disguised as a page, is spontaneous and unhackneyed, and has a mediæval atmosphere of the most inspiring kind. The reader forgets his practical twentieth-century point of view, and loses himself in the glamour of these brave old days of the Danish conquest.
It is a romance of enthralling interest.... Written in plain, unadorned Anglo-Saxon, it is as pure and wholesome as the lovely maiden whose face smiles between the lines. It is one of the few novels that can be read a second time with increased enjoyment. Than this, what more can be said?—Chicago Tribune.
Readers of “The Thrall of Leif the Lucky” can understand without description the pleasure in store for them in Miss Liljencrantz’s latest tale. The volume is a remarkable example of bookmaking, the colored illustrations showing to what heights the art of book illustration may attain.—Boston Transcript.
A stalwart and beautiful tale—a fine, big thing, full of men’s strength and courage and a girl’s devotion, the atmosphere of great days and primitive human passions.—Philadelphia Ledger.
