In Colin, we delve into the intriguing saga of the Stanier family, rooted in the quaint village of Stanier near Rye, Sussex. The narrative begins around 1600, when the original Colin Stanier makes a Faustian bargain with the devil to achieve his dreams—featuring a tantalizing encounter with Queen Elizabeth I, who finds herself enchanted by his charm. Fast forward to 1900, where another Colin Stanier, strikingly similar to his ancestor, resorts to deceit and treachery in a desperate bid to claim the family fortune from his older twin brother, Raymond. A contemporary review captures the essence of this tale A reasonable explanation for many young men of the present day is here provided Their ancestors sold their souls to the devil and the paper, discounted three centuries ago, has just come due. ~The Bookmans Guide to Fiction, 11/1923 - Summary by Jake MaliziaCopyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction 世界 社会科学
