THE RAIDERS BY S. R. CROCKETT

"A thoroughly enjoyable novel, full of fresh, original, and accurate pictures of life long gone by."--Daily News.

"A strikingly realistic romance."--Morning Post.

"The youngsters have their Stevenson, their Barrie, and now a third writer has entered the circle, S. R. Crockett, with a lively and jolly book of adventures, which the paterfamilias pretends to buy for his eldest son, but reads greedily himself and won't let go till he has turned over the last page.... Out of such historical elements and numberless local traditions the author has put together an exciting tale of adventures on land and sea." Frankfurter Zeitung.
