Yellow softcover reprint of 1847 volume. Previous owner's name and very few marginal marks or underlines. The story seems to parallel the "captivity by the Indians" tradition, being the description of the efforts of two men to recover their sweethearts. Set about 1755, it is appropriate that one of these men be an Englishman, the other a Micmac chief, and the kidnapping band be Malecites. 183 pp. View more info

Original maroon cloth on boards. First published in serial form in 1884. The daughter of William Shakespeare apparently lacked schooling, for at one point in her adult life she "made her mark" as a substitute for writing her name. Another source claims that she was eventually taught to read by a Quaker friend. At the time of her marriage, her husband was fighting a paternity charge by another woman. This resulted in his excommunication, but he was promptly re-instated. The book has no writing and no damage. 352 pp. View more info
