THE CROOKED FURROW

A good fat book for the Farnol followers with even the naughty characters having something good in their make-ups. Arrogant uncle Everard proposes to his two nephews that they prove themselves worthy of inheriting his fortune by spending a year without money, save the little with which he starts them off. Oliver and Roland fall in love with the same girl, have plenty of adventures, Oliver adopts a small girl, brings her to London to be cared for by his old teacher, learns his uncle is pursued by a maddened drug fiend of a son who tries to kill him, tries to prevent an attack on his uncle but is unsuccessful, find his uncle's lost wife and see Roland win the girl. Very boots-and-saddle-y but plenty of sentimental and high moral-ed entertainment.
