| Description: | “. . . the subject—the life of Talbot Clifton, written by his wife,—does not seem inherently thrilling, yet I defy anyone, with imagination, a spirit of adventure, and red blood in his veins, to read this book without being captivated by the man. A modern Ulysses, in whom the flame of Sagittarius burned so brightly that he must become a wanderer over the face of the earth—Alaska, the Barren Lands, South America, Siberia, Africa. His wife has written the saga of his life, in almost Homeric prose and verse, restrained, almost elliptical, dramatic, colorful, vibrant.”—Kirkus. [Suggest a different description.] |
