BEAU BROCADE
BEAU BROCADE
By BARONESS ORCZY
Author of “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” “I Will Repay,” etc.
A captivating romance of love and chivalry—the adventures of a charming highwayman of the days of the English Pretender.“Faith and courage make the story of ‘Beau Brocade’ a very interesting one. The hero is delightfully fascinating—bubbling over with exuberance of youth; nothing is a hardship for him. He reminds one of Dumas’s famous D’Artagnan, and most especially in his fighting escapades. Gloriously dramatic is the fight in the forge, when, by his prowess, Beau Brocade holds at bay a lot of redcoats, escaping on his steed ‘Jack O’Lantern.’”—N. Y. American Book Review Contest.“The story is so well told, so full of life and action, that one never loses interest from start to finish.”—Pittsburgh Dispatch.“Let no one begin reading this tale late in the evening, for there is no stopping-place till the end, and the end is worth reaching.”—The Congregationalist, Boston.“The illustrations in color are unusually attractive.”—Chicago Tribune.
