...written down all his obscure and enormous conquests, his dark and perhaps reprehensible maneuvers, there followed a great curiosity to see the book in which they were notated.

...QUEST OF YOUTH-Jeffery Farnol-Little Brown ($2.50). Sir Marmaduke Anthony Ashley John de la Pole Vane-Temperly not unnaturally grows tired of a solitude broken only by hearing his faithful servant John Hobbs speak his name in a respectful whisper through the corridors of a big mansion. In Hessian boots and quest of youth, he ventures over the blood-and-thunderous landscape on which he finds, among other adventures, his wife who had left him 20 years before and Eve-Ann Ash, the girl he kisses on the last page. This is after Jasper Shrig, detective, has made sure...
