This review is from: A Cigarette-Maker's Romance (Kindle Edition)

This novel is a delightful find, and well worth the read. While written over a century ago, and describing a time, (and manners) which are long past, there is a certain timelessness to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Among his best novels, March 3, 2005

Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews

A cigarette maker in Munich believes he is really a count and heir to a great Russian fortune, and every Wednesday expects to get a visit from Russian officials so informing him. Of course it never happens and everyone thinks him mad. He is also in love with a girl who works with him, who loves him back and tries hard to believe in his illusion. Sure enough the whole thing comes true; our hero gets his fortune and the girl, too. Charming and sentimental, this short novel contains some of Crawford's most chizzled and direct writing. It's one of his best books.
