THE YELLOW WAGON

By CHARMAN EDWARDS

A beautiful woman, destined to be England's most famous actress, born

the men who craved her for her beauty alone. Here is no impossible
heroine who survives her many ordeals unscathed--Sheila Fitzpatrick is

High Street
Rainbrother
Sir Richard Penniless
Mr. Edwards writes in a manner that holds one to his story.
Characterisation comes easy to him. He has a facility for sustained
suspense and he constructs with admirable economy.
