The Cliff-Climbers; Or, the Lone Home in the Himalayas
A Sequel to “ The PlantHunters.” By , Author of “ The Desert Home,” “The Boy - Hunters,” etc., etc. With Illustrations. Boston : Ticknor & Fields.
BELOVED of boys, the adventurous Mayne Reid continues from year to year his good work as a story-teller. Since he held the youthful student a spellbound reader of “ The Desert Home,” he has sent abroad a dozen volumes, all excellent in their way, for the entertainment of his ever-increasing audience. He has not, however, dealt quite fairly by his boy-friends. He kept them waiting several years for the completion of “ The Plant-Hunters,” and it is only now that he has found time to add “ The ClilfClimbers ” as a sequel to that fascinating story. While we thank him for the book that gives us further acquaintance with those stirring individuals, Karl and Caspar, we cannot help reminding him how long ago it is since we read “ The PlantHunters,” and wished for more.
