-- With Kitchener in the Soudan: A Tale of Atbara and Omdurman.
With 10 Illustrations by W. RAINEY, R.I., and 3 Maps. 6s.
In carrying out various special missions with which he is entrusted the
hero displays so much dash and enterprise that he soon attains an
exceptionally high rank for his age. In all the operations he takes a
distinguished part, and adventure follows so close on adventure that the
end of the story is reached all too soon.
"Mr. Henty has collected a vast amount of information about
the reconquest of the Soudan, and he succeeds in impressing
it upon his reader's mind at the very time when he is
interesting him most."--_Literary World._
-- With the British Legion: A story of the Carlist Wars.
With 10 Illustrations by WAL PAGET. 6s.
The hero joins the British Legion, which was raised by Sir de
Lacy Evans to support the cause of Queen Christina and the
infant Queen Isabella, and as soon as he sets foot on Spanish
soil his adventures begin. Arthur is one of Mr. Henty's most
brilliant heroes, and the tale of his experiences is thrilling
and breathless from first to last.
"It is a rattling story told with verve and spirit."--_Pall
Mall Gazette._
-- The Treasure of the Incas: A Tale of Adventure in Peru.
With 8 Illustrations by WAL PAGET, and a Map. 5s.
The heroes of this powerful story go to Peru to look for the
treasure which the Incas hid when the Spaniards invaded the
country. Their task is both arduous and dangerous, but though
they are often disappointed, their courage and perseverance are
at last amply rewarded.
"The interest never flags for one moment, and the story is
told with vigour." --_World._
