Overview
"Romain Kalbris: His Adventures By Sea and Shore," was first published in 1869 by prolific author Hector Malot. Though not intended as such, the author's work were very popular in France as children's novels. In 1923, Romain Kalbris was adapted as a silent adventure film in France. "He began the spectacle with my performances. These consisted of perilous leaps across the backs of four running horses, and of somersaults turned at the end of a pole held by Cabriole. I did pretty well in my jumps, and the public applauded. The crowd excited me; and summoning all my strength, I sprung upon Cabriole's shoulders and ran out on the pole easily. Cabriole was, like the rest of us, tired and weak. At the moment when with all the might of his arms he should have held the pole straight and steady, I felt it veer and quiver; my blood grew cold; I shook and fell forward, stretching out my arms. The crowd gave a cry." Brown boards with gilt-stampings on front cover and spine. Blind-stamp on back cove
