Ex-Libris, Ross King
really excellent chase-object, bits of Elizabethan vocabulary fitted in
where they can be understood from context, enigmatic and disastrous
characters clustered around an endearingly timid narrator. Wonderful
sense of how global the affairs of Western Europe had become by the
1600s, so that distant events troubled the wharves in London.
And the chase-object is really excellent, especially since I
was expecting it to be a Boojum.
So wrote clew in
Mystery.
