    "This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy."

    The Adventures of Kathlyn

    by Harold MacGrath

    Book Description

    Harold MacGrath was known for writing novels, short-stories, and even screenplays for the then-nascent movie industry. He wrote at least a novel a year, had short stories in the "Saturday Evening Post" and "Ladies' Home Journal," and became one of the first well-known writers to work in film.

    The novel "The Adventures of Kathlyn" was also a serial film, produced as thirteen episodes and starring Kathlyn Williams. MacGrath wrote both simultaneously, timing things so the novel would be in the bookstores when the serial was running. The serial was only the second serial made by an American company, and the first of the "cliffhanger" style that became popular over the next decade. It was popular enough to spawn a feature-length film a couple of years later with the same title and largely the same cast.

    Kathlyn travels from California to India with her father and sister, to find herself caught up in a quest for jewels and captured with her family by the villainous Umballa. She possesses an unquenchable spirit and a way with wild animals. She will need both to endure her perils and help her family return to California. . . !
