THE YELLOW CRAYON (1903)
I found this book rather hard to follow. It seemed to refer to past events that were not explained. As doubts and suspicions gather around the enigmatic Mr Sabin, so were my own gaining force. In fact, of course, this is a sequel to the Mysterious Mr Sabin (1898).
Oppy and his characters seemed to be immersed in a wealthy demi-monde of the imagination in which secret societies flourish and the inevitable Germans play their part.
Not really worth the effort.
4/10
