First edition of the author's classic story for girls. Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "Sarah O. Jewett 1899." In near fine condition.
In luminous evocations of their lives, Maine-born Sarah Orne Jewett created startlingly vivd portraits of individual New Englanders, and a warm, humorous, and compassionate vision of the New England character. Jewett possessed a keen descriptive gift that William Dean Howells called "an uncommon feeling for talk — I hear your people."
