Description

Dead Man's Rock is a fairly naive 1st novel, a romance in the vein of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, with hidden treasure, tragedy, romance & a cunningly evil villain. The story is fast-paced though heavily reliant on incredible coincidences & is patently ridiculous, but at the same time utterly charming & enjoyable. The author himself in his forward of this 1928 edition rates the book as not terribly good but is fond of it as a first effort. Indeed, in 1898 he completed Robert Louis Stevenson's unfinished novel, St. Ives. I would recommend Dead Man's Rock to anyone out there who loves an old-fashioned, rip-snorting ripping yarn!
