You should. You would like it, I think. It’s amazing.

I loved it! And Rupert of Hentzau too!

OMG, the sequels are so great. Hank and Buddy — I can’t wait until you see what happens to Hank and Buddy. You have to get the sequels, like, yesterday, and read them straightaway.

And HELL YES I have read The Sheik. And it was amazing. And I am super excited to see you around again. 😀

I did not know there were sequels!

Have you read The Sheik?

I think we may have discussed it; in fact it might even have contributed to my love of your blog 😉

Our parents have 1920s hardback copies and I eventually persuaded all my sisters into reading them, and they were converted, and now we are all desperate to each have our own copies. I have the first two, in mismatched paperback.

Maybe Beau Geste will be my book-to-read-at-the-airport-during-Christmas-journeys. Mmm, good plan!

(P.S. I love your falling snow on this page 🙂 )

Oh my gosh, yes. I haven’t read nearly enough H. Rider Haggard yet — just She. But it was wonderful, and I would gladly read more Haggard.

Well, this book sort of makes it sound like it’s made up of former criminals too. My uncle is just crazy. :p
