RAYMI;
OR, THE CHILDREN OF THE SUN.
A Tale of Adventure.
BY CLIVE HOLLAND,
_Author of “The Golden Hawk,” etc._
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
“An attractive tale of adventure.”—_Morning Post._
“We have had a great many stories of adventure showered upon us.... Some
of these have been good, some, a large proportion, bad: many
indifferent.... ‘Raymi’ is more good than indifferent; it is certainly
very far from being a bad book of its kind.”—_Daily News._
“There is much quaint and fresh interest about this well-written story
of adventures and wonders in far-away lands.... The relations of the
girl (Clara Savill) to the crew and her father are touched in with a
firm hand, and delineated in a way that invests this part of the
narrative with all the charm of truth to nature.... Let it suffice that
in ‘Raymi’ we have a good stirring story of adventure, which is marred
neither by improbability nor extravagance.”—_Public Opinion._
“A tale of adventure and peril of surpassing interest is comprised in
this large and handsome volume.... It possesses all the traits that go
to captivate attention.”—_Aberdeen Journal._
“A really cleverly written story of stirring sea fights and buccaneering
deeds, and strange adventures among a strange people.... Mr. Holland
conducts his hero through many marvellous nautical and terrestrial
experiences with a skill which seems to us not to fall very far behind
that of Mr. Clark Russell.... ‘Raymi’ has not a single fault that we can
discover.”—_Glasgow Herald._
“We have here a book to delight the heart and stir the pulse of
adventurous youth, besides containing much matter to interest ‘children
of older growth.’... The author’s story is all his own, and is not
unworthy in plot and vividness of the reputation won by his earlier
work. The author traces with no little skill and graphic power the
remote wanderings and strange and thrilling experiences of one Hugh
Carton, a sailor lad, in distant parts.”—_Birmingham Daily Post._
“This admirable romance. The adventures of the hero amongst ‘marvellous
scenes and marvellous people’ are related most vividly and with
considerable skill.... The sea fights and perils and dangers of the deep
are also very well done.”—_Newcastle Dally Chronicle._
