Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vera
I might enlarge in this place on his extravagance, and on the curious items which had, in a few months, swelled to such a total; but I remember that when I used to tell stories to a bright-eyed audience in the nursery, that audience always cried out, begin at the very beginning; and thus it may be as well in telling a story for children of larger growth to bear this hint in mind, and'eo perhaps interest the reader more genuinely in the fortunes of my hero.
