One Traveller Returns and Payn A Prince of the Blood reviewed
A mixed critique of the joint narrative One Traveller Returns by David Christie Murray and Henry Nilerman, noting lurid adventurous themes and florid dialogue. The piece praises some invention but finds the tale, amid supernatural confluence and exotic names, uneven and not compelling reading for those seeking stronger substance. It also comments on James Payn’s Lost Sir Massingford and other works, mentioning a shift toward contemporary adventure trends in From Exile and similar novels.
