: In this mildly comic novel three sedate Swedish masters of a theological seminary leave their native land for a pleasure trip to Copenhagen. The simplest-minded of the trio, Peter Mobius, has expressed a desire to be "led into temptation," and it is his funds, commandeered by the more worldly of his two companions, that defray the expenses of the adventure. Arrived in Copenhagen, Mobius, while out sightseeing alone, mysteriously disappears, being kidnapped by a gang of burglars whom he has chanced to interrupt in their work. Under their custody and coercion, extraordinary things, including the desired temptations, occur to Mobius, from the mazes of which he finally emerges with a fiancee. The book is graceful and entertaining foolishness, written by an expert hand, and well worth the attention of those who have enjoyed the fantastic "Mr. Collin" tales and other of the author's fiction in similar vein. | : In this mildly comic novel three sedate Swedish masters of a theological seminary leave their native land for a pleasure trip to Copenhagen.
