The book is at its best when De Rancé is describing the slow reformation of the former safecracker. The Padre's hobby is butterflies, and Flint starts to help him mount them-because he's got the skillful hands of a safecracker-and gradually comes to know so much about them that he writes books and is made a member of several societies of entomologists. I love it when characters in books are experts on things, so that bit made me particularly happy. He also helps reform the town, endears himself to dogs, immigrants, and small children, and, in a heroic feat of safecracking, brings together the young lovers. All books should have heroic feats of safecracking. [more]

Our knowledge of the present and past fauna of Europe is as yet insufficient to indicate with precision the original homes of its component elements, but I hope that the lines of research laid down here, and the method of treatment adopted, will aid zoologists and geologists in collecting materials for a more comprehensive study of the history of our animals. I trust also that a fresh impulse will be given by the publication of this book to the study of the Geographical Distribution of Species. Collectors of Beetles, Butterflies, Shells, and Fossils may derive some useful hints by its perusal and thus direct their studies, so as to add, by accuracy in observation, to our knowledge of the former geographical revolutions which have moulded our islands and continents.
