A missing link in the adventures of the Moosepath League, which only stoked my interest in further tales. May we have less time in our wait for more. Bravo Mr. Reid!

Better the second time through. A great book, but the end in China left me a little confused. The first half was excellent.

Second time reading this book. So good! It has adventure, humor, romance, historical period of 1896 and even a bit of a ghost story. Van Reid has a wonderful cast of characters that rival Dickens, and a sense of pace/plot that will keep you engaged into the wee hours of the morning. Still one of my favorites, and possibly my favorite of the Moosepath League titles.

This is a novel which is convoluted and magnificent. Parts of it are reminiscent of The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens, particularly the three original members of the Moosepath League, as well as the numerous adventures experienced by other characters. The novel is set in 1890's Maine (USA), starting in Portland and going to Wiscasset, Fort Edgecomb, Boothbay Harbour, Damariscotta, Millinocket and so forth. rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://readableword.wordpress.com/2021/07/31/cordelia-underwood-or-the-marvelou...… (more)
