Red Saunders: His Adventures West & East

  By George Douglas

  THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS

  A story remarkable for its power, remarkable for its originality,and remarkable for its success. The unique masterpiece of anunfortunate young author, who died without knowing the unstintedpraise his work was to receive. The book portrays with strikingrealism a phase of Scottish life and character new to mostnovel-readers. John Gourlay, the chief personage in the drama,inhabitant of the "House With the Green Shutters" and master of thevillage destinies, looms up as the personification of the bruteforce that dominates. He stands apart from all characters infiction. In the broad treatment and the relentless sweep of itstragedy, the book suggests the work of Dumas.
