Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Carnac's Folly
He was only fourteen, but already he had visions and dreamed dreams. His father - John Grier - was the great lumber-king of Canada, and Junia was the child of a lawyer who had done little with his life, but had had great joy of his two daughters, who were clear to him beyond telling.
Carnac was one of Nature's freak's or accidents. He was physically strong and daring, but, as a boy, mentally he lacked concentration and deci sion, though very clever. He was led from thing to thing like a ray of errant light, and he did not put a hand on himself, as Old Denzil, the partly deformed servant of Junia's home, said of him on occasion and Denzil was a man of parts.
Denzil was not far from the two when Junia made her appeal and challenge. He loved the girl exceedingly, and he loved Carnac little less, though in a different way. Denzil was French of the French, With habit of mind and character wholly his own.
