LUCIAN THE DREAMER

This is the Story

THIS is the study of an artistic temperament in a generation not so farremoved from our own as the hurried events of the last two decades wouldmake it appear—the generation which fought in the Boer War. Mr.Fletcher has told us the life story of a boy, a “thinker” rather than a“doer”—Lucian the Dreamer. We follow with great interest his many loveaffairs while under the care of his uncle and aunt in the country. Weenjoy with him the simple rustic beauties of Wellsby, and from themoment he arrives at the little village station until that final tragicscene in the dry-bed of a South African river we are held as in a vice.
