- These beg to be read aloud, with all those rolling refrains ("the great grey-green greasy Limpopo River") and Kipling calling you O Best Beloved. The Elephant's Child alone earns it.
- You follow John Trenchard through the Dorset village of Moonfleet, where smugglers, churchyards, and hidden passages give the story a wonderfully shadowy texture. The prose is old-fashioned and occasionally melodramatic, but the bond between John and the brooding Elzevir Block gives this adventure real feeling beneath its treasure-hunt machinery.
- Ayesha is the reason to go: a two-thousand-year-old queen who talks philosophy while casually terrifying everyone, and she gets stranger the closer you look. The Victorian adventure trappings creak a bit (and the colonial attitudes with them), but the ending in the caves genuinely unsettles.
