Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Natvral Man: A Romance of the Golden Age
There was a clatter of hoofs below, beating the still air vividly, and along the open space of red road down there, perhaps one hundred yards away, flew a naked horse, that is saddleless, bridleless, and on his back a naked man, or nearly so, waving a green branch. Hardly had he disappeared behind the thick shade of overarching trees before she doubted her eyes, so like a relief on an ancient tomb had seemed the muscular figure clinging with sinewy legs to the glossy steed, vine-crowned and branch-laden, cumbered with no garments.
