At the same time, when one strikes something which pleases him immensely, it does not seem to be quite falr to keep it to himself. 1 read many books, swarms of them, galaxies of them, oodles of them. Some 1 read because I am expected to read them, some because other people are reading them, some be- cause 1 want to find out something in them, and some because 1 like them. The latter, however, are few. To come across a book that takes one by storm, holds him, fascinates him and gives him that rare intoxica- tion that meets the inmost passion, is an event. Recently I went upon a long journey and spent many days upon the train and steamboat. Upon this journey I found & book. It was entitied “Cap- tain Blood,” by Rafael Sabatini. I read it, at first languidly, then in- terestedly, and at last went at it as a drunkard consumes his liquor of & child devours sweets. I passed it on te the other mem- bers of my family. Each read it and each was consumed by the same flame that had congumed me. I do not hesitate to say that this is the best story I have read since “The Count of Monte Cristo.” 1 do not judge of it as literature. All 1 know of It is that it is good, swift, clean English. But it i not of its style that 1 would speak. It had something more than style, something rare, the rarest thing in- It had a brand of re- deed I know of in creative imagination A.magazine edltor once sald to me that he wished he could get hold of a good story every month, something in the best manner of Conan Doyle. I replied to him that his wishes were modest, and that he probably failed to realize that out of the billlon or g0 population of the world there were probably not over three or four in- dividuals who could creats a story, a reaily fresh, vivid, gripping story In “Captain Blood” Sabatini has proven that he is one of these few. It is a story of buccaneering days in the Spanish Main, one of the most romantic and adventurous epochs of the world, and the reader is taken into the atmosphere of the time and is made to realize all its vivid charm, vet is_ skillfully kept from being nauseated by its brutality. The best thing about it is that it is an impoking tale, a wonderful yarn. The reader is not interested in its in its literary values, in in this or that; he is “Captain Blood” and be- through he is better “Captain Blood” than neighbor who lives writing. cescriptiol ite English, tnterested in fore he gets acquainted with he is with his next door. Whether this is a recently publish- ed book or not, I have not taken the pains to inquire. All I know is that T have just read it and I count it one of the great books of the world. It took me out of myself. It opened a_door through which I escaped from all the commonplace things of life. I am a thousand years old more or less, and it is very rarely that one can tell me a story Interesting enough to_blot out all my surrounding: All 1 can say is that when I read “Captain Blood” 1 had the same sort of an experience that I had when I was a little boy and I heard for the | first time the story of “Jack the Giant Killer” or “Little Red Riding Hood.
