The Uncrowned King

"The Uncrowned King," by Harold Bell Wright. Illustrated by John Rea Neill. Price 75 cents. The Book Supply Co., publishers, Chicago.
The little book is a sustained allegory of the pilgrim and his pilgrimage, and the stories aim to illustrate the importance of right and the willingness to rest in that right, waiting for the future to vindicate the choice. It is to exemplify the truth that "the crown is not the kingdom, nor is one a king because he wears a crown." The things that really are, are more than the things that seem to be. It is beautifully written, ever inviting the reader on to the end.
