Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cruise of the Shining Light
There was more to be wondered at: beginning at my uncle's left ear, which was itself sadly puckered and patched, a wide, rough scar, of changing color, as his temper went, cut a great swath in his wiry hair, curving clear over the crown of his head. A second scar, of lesser dimension and ghastly look, lay upon his fore head, over the right eyebrow, to which though by nature drooping to a glower, it gave a 'sharp upward twist, SO that in a way to surprise the stranger he was in good humor or bad, cynical or sullen, according to the point of approach.
