  Sultan Jim: Empire Builder. Illustrated by CYRUS CUNEO.

  Mr. Herbert Strang has chosen the African continent as the setting forsome of his most remarkable stories, and of these "Sultan Jim" is notthe least remarkable. It was written prior to the war, when thecolonising activities of rival European powers was raising problems ofthe greatest interest and importance. The presence of a youngEnglishman in one of the debatable lands at a time of upheaval andinternational rivalry enables him to uphold the interests of the Empireagainst formidable opposition. The story is brimful of adventure, andits moral is that of patriotic self-sacrifice.
