"The Pride of Jennico," by Agnes and Egerton Castle, published by the Macmillan Company. Price $1.50.
This book consists of a series of interrupted memoirs written partly by the Captain Basil Jennico, the hero of the story, and partly by the authors in person. Captain Jennico, an English gentlemen, falls heir to the great estate of Tollendhal, situated in northern Austria, and here a marvellous series of adventures befalls him and a certain Princess Ottilie of Lausitz-Rothenburg. The tale reminds one slightly of "The Prisoner of Zenda," in the familiar relations which exist between the young English hero and the foreign princess, but here the resemblance stops. The story moves from Austria to England and back again, and introduces a number of striking characters in both countries.
On the whole the book is entertaining, the interest of the reader increasing to the very last adventure, which furnishes an admirable climax to the story.
