A Gentle Knight of Old Brandenburg
Description:... "A Gentle Knight of Old Brandenburg, by Charles Major, is a historical novel in which the chief characters are Wilhelmina, the daughter of King Frederick William of Brandenburg, her brother, who was afterward Frederick the Great, and other members of this most extraordinary court. The life at the palace was important enough in itself to make the historical account of it most entertaining reading, but the author of this book has tried to do more by weaving a love story through a few of the most striking situations. The book is entertaining reading."
-The Craftsman
"The author has wisely selected a period of absorbing dramatic Interest, and transcribed it with spirit and comparative simplicity."
-The Nation
"Readers who remember Mr. Major's 'Dorothy Vernon' will expect a good story, and will not be disappointed."
-The Spectator
