Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Quest of Alistair
Ringing the bell, the young man was ushered upstairs by a trim maid in white cap and apron, where an elderly gentle man sat before a table that was literally covered with papers apparently in the wildest confusion. He rose with an um mistakable air of pleasure to welcome his visitor and shook him warmly by the hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
