Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Island Mystery In 1914 there were not twenty men in England who had ever heard of the island of Salissa. Even now - I am writing in the spring of 1917 - the public is very bady informed about the events which gave the island a certain importance in the history of the war. A couple of months ago I asked a well-known press-cutting agency to supply me with a complete collection of all references to Salissa which had appeared in our newspapers. I received a single short paragraph from a second-rate society weekly. It ran thus: "Is it true that our new Minister for Balkan Problems has a curious story to tell about a certain island in the Mediterranean, and is there a lady in the case?" The Minister referred to is, of course, Sir Bartholomew Bland-Potterton. The island must be Salissa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
