The classic story ties together themes of adventure and romance. Hornung’s traditional writing style is incredibly descriptive and can be often relaxing to read. The story of Dead Men Tell No Tales doesn’t rush but rather takes it’s time to develop characters and provide indulgent details for readers. The tale of Mr. Cole and Ms. Eva is an excellent addition to any library and showcases some of Hornung’s greatest strengths as an author. (Goodreads)

These huts ha...

    E. W. HORNUNG
    Excerpt: "'There's our hut!' said the young hut-leader, pointing through iron palings at a couple of toy Noah's Arks built large. 'No—that's the nth Division's cinema.
