Some of his work is what you'd expect from someone of Oscar Wilde's social class (though, if he had Wilde's talent, he'd have endured a lot more thoroughly than he has) -- quaintly quietly social stories from a member of the English gentry. Some of it (more successfully, we'd say) seems to ape Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure works, like "Treasure Island" and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." "Hetty Wesley" is somewhere between those two poles: it's a mystery, the tale of an Englishman who's worked a lifetime in India -- and vanished on the voyage home. We like it, a lot. We think you will, too. |
