About this book
This novel is a collaboration between English author A. E. W. Mason and Scottish writer Andrew Lang, best remembered for his popular series of fairy tales and folk tales. The seemingly mild-mannered Parson Kelly finds himself in hot water when what starts out as a humdrum legal transaction soon mushrooms into a maelstrom of political intrigue.
