Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Truxton King a Story of Graustark
Strange to say, he was now drifting back toward the civilisation which we are pleased to call our own, with a sense of genuine disappointment in his heart. He had found no Sign of Romance.
Adventure in plenty, but Romance - ah, the fairy princesses were in the story books, after all.
Here he was, twenty-six years old, strong and full of the fire of life, convincing himself that there was nothing for him to do but to drift back to dear old New York and talk to his father about going into the offices; to let his mother tell him over and over again of the nice girls She knew who did not have to be rescued from ogres and all that sort of thing in order to settle down to domestic obsolescence; to tell his Sister and all of their mutual friends the whole truth and nothing but the truth con cerning his adventures in the wilds, and to feel that the friends, at least, were predestined to look upon him as a fearless liar, nothing more.
