There are many exciting action sequences, which are almost cinematic in their execution, villains so dastardly they practically perspire evil, and it all adds up to a very enjoyable adventure story

This is an utterly rambunctious read, full of swashbuckling adventure . . . There's a great deal of humour, too . . . The whole thing has great heart and highspiritedness
