Blackie & Son’s Story Books for Boys
G. Manville Fenn
Dick o’ the Fens: A Romance of the Great East Swamp. With 12 page Illustrations by Frank Dadd. 6s.
Dick o’ the Fens and Tom o’Grimsey are the sons of a squire and a farmer living in Lincolnshire. Many sketches of their shooting and fishing experiences are related, while the record of the fenmen’s stealthy resistance to the great draining scheme is full of keen interest. The ambushes and shots in the mist and dark, and the long-baffled attempts to trace the lurking foe, are described with Mr. Fenn’s wonted skill.
