Synopsis

"A wonderful book" Eden Phillpotts says in a letter to the author, "that can stand beside 'King Solomon's Mines' and not fear comparison." The story of three adventurers who crossed the trembling bridge, and came by way of the "place where ghosts chase woman" to overcome the woman who ruled monkeys, and in the end to find the "city of wonder" is one such as is rarely told. The love idyll of Princess Eve among the hidden wonders of Kir-Asa is, perhaps, the greatest feature in a story which for grip and power has few parallels in modern fiction.
