Sard harker, published two years before Odtaa, in one of the Poet Laureate's early novels of romance and adventure, Te story is set in the swamps and moutains of bloo-soaked South American dictatorship.
As Punch wrote:
'Eve the most case-hardener reader of novels will surely find his breath bein caught in the rush and glitter of Mr John Masefild's superb story of adventure, Sard Harker. The narrative of sailor's blind pursuit of dream wich changed and mocked him at everu turn is informed with that rarest of fine qualities in literatur- the truly romantic.'
'A book to read once at speed for the thrill and gloru of adventure, and again leisurely for its great art. Nothing in Mr Masefild's earlier novels is so good so finely written, or so breathlessly readable' - Rose Macaulay
