The boy who has read this capital story of adventure must of necessity have more of Stevenson and had better try "Kidnapped" next. He may sometime become absorbed in the wonderful tales of a favourite of Stevenson himself, Dumas. Listen to the testimony of Thackeray about the great French story-teller as it was written in the essay, "On a Lazy, Idle Boy": "What was the book in the hands of my lad as he stood by the river shore? Do you suppose that it was Livy, or the Greek grammar? No: it was D'Artagnan locking up General Monk in a box, or the prisoner of the Château d'If cutting himself out of the sack fifty feet under water and swimming to the island of Monte Cristo. Be assured the lazy boy was reading Dumas; and as for the tender pleadings of his mother that he should not let his supper grow cold--I don't believe the scapegrace cared one fig. No! Figs are sweet, but fictions are sweeter." G--"THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS" BY JAMES FENIMORE COOPER
