Who was the writer of XXX?
The Helmet of Navarre
Considered, then, as an entity, The Helmet of Navarre was not ``the most remarkable work of present-day fiction,'' as its publishers would have us believe, but a very creditable bit of writing, especially for an author who had not yet reached the quarter-century mark ; and one which was read by a great many people simply from the fact of its having been vigorously brought to their attention.
