All that an old road can suggest -a road blazed by explorers, worn by adventurers, home seekers, strolling lovers, a road beaten by fugitives and pursuers-is dramatized in this novel. The first who trudges the ancient highway to Quebec is Clifton Brant, exile of many years, returning to his ruined home. He is but one of a goodly company who troop into the tale-mighty men of valor and fair descendants of the old seigneurs. Modern love and gallantry are the book's theme, but the ghosts of a historic past haunt its pages. The Ancient Highway takes you down the world-old highway of Romance; while woodland beauty brings Nature near, in that communion which Curwood lovers find a healing and tonic force.
