This is "Max," Katherine Cecil Thurston's story of a young Russian
princess, who, disguised as a boy, flees to the Montmartre Quarter
of Paris the night before her arranged marriage. Like everything
Thurston wrote, it's a fine read and a great adventure. . . .
Born Katherine Cecil Madden in Cork, Ireland, Thurston was a
contributing author of short stories for various British
publications such as "Pall Mall Magazine," "Gunter's Magazine,"
"London Magazine," "Windsor Magazine," and others. Thurston's
novels achieved success not only in Great Britain but in the United
States as well. Her best known work was a political thriller titled
"John Chilcote" (as "The Masquerader" in the United States)
published in 1904. It was on the New York Times Best Seller list
for two years, ranking as the third best-selling book for 1904 and
the seventh best selling in 1905. Her novels include "The Circle,"
"John Chilcote" (aka "The Masquerader"), "The Gambler," "The
Mystics," "The Fly on the Wheel," "Life, "and "Max."
