As all of Henty's stories, this was an interesting, fun and educational way to pass a few hours. ( )

When I was a child, my father (who was an avid collector of old books) used to read me a chapter of Henty every night before bed. This was one of my particular favorites. I enjoyed it so much that when I got one of my first writing assignments in grade school, I gave Gervaise Tresham a 'celebrity guest appearance' at the end of the story. Henty can be a little dry by modern standards, but I have no reservations at all about recommending this one. ( )
