The Maids of Paradise Robert W Chambers

Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. Robert William Chambers (1865-1933) was an American artist and writer. According to some estimates, Chambers was one of the most successful literary careers of his period, his later novels selling well and a handful achieving best-seller status. Many of his works were also serialized in magazines. Under the French circus tent, the Maids of Paradise dive like mermaids into water below. The acrobatics hint at the drama awaiting American investigator Mr. Scarlett, and his love, the Countess de Vassart. While a real war rages on outside, battles of love and strength are fought in the circus ring. Includes vintage illustration!
