Reviews

[Nicky Warwick · Rating 4 out of 5]

I came across this book on eBay that contains the first 2 novels by Lionel Davidson.

The Night of Wenceslas is a treat.
A young ne'erdowell gets caught up in an international Spy ring. The writing is dryly funny & ironic and the story zips along.

The Rose of Tibet is different, posing as an interpretation of a true story (is it really based on truth - I'm not sure??) it is a fabulous adventure in much the same vein as Kolymsky Heights - a chap goes on a difficult quest & wins out despite severe problems all along the way.
I'd recommend both or either for fans of any genre, particularly if you've read & enjoyed Kolymsky Heights
