Another leisurely, rambling story, tinged with sentiment and steeped in the truest spirit of romance. "If you have read 'The Broad Highway,' and, it is hardly necessary to add, have enjoyed it, you will want to read Mr. Farnol's new story. Both stories have the same freshness, the same invigorating breath of the open road, the same pleasant background of English highways and hedges and meadows and orchards and farmsteads and woodlands, the same mellow humor, the same agreeable characters (yet not the same, of course, for the two stories tell of happenings a century or so apart in point of time). There are differences which may make you like 'The Money Moon' the better - the story is simpler in outline and quieter in tone, there are no killings or other brutalities, and there is Small Porges. He is one of the most delightful small boys we have met on many a league of the open road." -The Outlook "A wholesome, entertaining story....The hero is a wealthy young American who at the opening of the tale is bent upon mending his heart, left in pieces by a damsel with an eye for a duke. With heavy walking-stick and knapsack he sallies forth, little matter where, to rid himself of the 'Haunting Specter of the Might Have Been.' Either a fickle youth or little in love, his task of dispelling a past illusion is easily accomplished. He meets a quaint little boy setting out to hunt the fortune that shall relieve his beloved young aunt from her load of financial care. How the hero becomes party to the mystery of certain gold that appears with the full of the moon - the money moon - and how that same moon charms the wayward young heroine to submission is all prettily told for the reader who enjoys a real love story." -Book Review Digest "It is a jolly, friendly, easy-going book. Take it as you find it and you will not be disappointed." -The New York Times
