Somewhere in the Caribbean
Somewhere in the Caribbean
By Francis Lynde
Author of “The Dollar-berry Bush,” “A Transplanted
Tenderfoot,” Etc.
Francis Lynde is a gifted author. One of his especial gifts is the ability to “shift into high,” as it were, from the very start. His readers are never asked to possess their souls in patience while he stokes his fires, gets up steam, and laboriously gathers headway. He invariably leaps away to a running start. But that isn’t all. Having set a killing pace from the crack of the starting gun, Mr. Lynde gathers speed steadily. The interest is not merely sustained to the end. It is increased page by page. How it is done is a secret that only the great writers seem to know. We could not reveal it if we would. All we can say is that Francis Lynde is among the favored few who know the mystic formula. If you want to see the formula being applied at its best, you will find its exemplification in “Somewhere in the Carribean.”
