'The Red Cross Girl' - Written in 1912, updated with two additional stories in 1919, and ranging from New York to Cuba to Britain, this is a collection of nine of Davis’s dramatic and gripping stories. An American sets out to fake a German invasion of England, a salesman missing his train ends up accidentally participating in an invasion of Cuba, a student who flunked a history course helps his professor regain his position after being unfairly booted from the college (by turning him into a world-wide celebrity!), a man about to give up discovers he can actually read people’s minds, and five other tales will hold you riveted in this book. The stories included are: 'The Red Cross Girl,' 'The Grand Cross Of The Crescent,' 'The Invasion of England,' 'Blood Will Tell,' 'The Sailorman,' 'The Mind Reader,' 'The Naked Man,' 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf,' and 'The Card-Sharp.' * * * * 'Vera the Medium' - The romance of Vera the Medium, a young woman who 'speaks' to the spirits of the dead. Trapped in a profession of lies by something she did years before, Vera meets the District Attorney, Winthrop, who offers her hope of a way out. But will her compatriots and clients let her go? Full of tragedy and humor, a thrilling love story as only Richard Harding Davis can tell. The heroine is a kind new to fiction and the story is told with the vigor and skill. * * * * This volume includes the complete text of all the stories, published in 1912, and 1919 editions. Also included are the original 14 full-page illustrations that graced these stories. * * * * Check our other Children’s, Juvenile, and Adult books at www.FlyingChipmunkPublishing.com, or Like us on Facebook for our latest releases.
