The Quest of Youth — Jeffery Farnol

This time the reader is thrilled with the story of Sir Marmaduke Vane-Temperly, who, a weary man of the world, goes fourth to seek his vanished youth. Of the many adventures that befall him, a mysterious murder, is but one. Again the author, with a masterful hand, recreates a fascinating period when bucks and dandies took a dilettante interest in bruisers, and footpads infested the highways and hedges of old England. It is a romance which, because of its atmosphere, stirring action and unique characters, will be read unflaggingly to the end.
