Sobre este artículo
Boston: Houghton Mifflin And Company, 1900. First Edition. Near fine in light green cloth covered boards with gilt text on the spine and gilt text and decorations on the front board. A 16 mo of 6 7/8 by 4 1/2 inches with very slight tanning of the cloth on the spine and six small stains on the front board. And, there is gift inscription in ink on the second free end page with a date of "Boston, May 19th, 1897". The contents are bright, tight and clean. Without a dust jacket and probably as issued. 213 pages of text followed by two pages of ads by the publisher. A novel which takes place on the seacoast of Maine. The decorative cover art to the front board is in a wonderful Art Nouveau style by Sarah Wyman Whitman. (Minsky, The Art Of American Book Covers 1875-1930 p.27)
Reseñas
El Jan 30 2014, un lector dijo:
This was a life-changing read. It is as if it were written specifically for me. The journey was the most uplifting, intriguing, heartwarming, satisfying experience for an avid reader such as myself. The writer is a superb narrator with descriptions beyond compare and character-building skills such as I have never witnessed. Am now reading other authors with similar writing style, (Ruth Moore) as well as others by Jewett. Carol Sullivan
