Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. An unusual compendium of five novels, originally published to great acclaim by five different publishers. There is no indication of who put together this leatherbound volume, or when, but the volume seems to not be much newer than the last published work - 1874. There is a tipped in sheet with the titles of the novels contained. "The Burgomaster's Family", published by Scribner Armstrong & Co in 1873 was translated from the Dutch by Sir John Shaw Lefevre. The author's real name was E.C.W. Gobie van Walree and the book is known for its lively description of Dutch life. "Going and Son" published by The American News Company in 1869 by an author known only as "Monk." It is a murder mystery set in Wall Street in the years before the Gilded Age: "I have taken the plot and characters of this narrative from the midst of New York life." "Expiated", published by Osgood & Co in 1873, is described as being by the author of "Six Months Hence" and "Beyond the Veil", books that are elsewhere identified as being by Herman Ludolph Prior. He writes: The present work is, and was intended to be, a tragedy, striking the deep notes of human emotion, human error, and human suffering; and the novel-readers who may honor it with their perusal are kindly requested to accept it as such. The main incident of the story, in fact, although cast in widely different times, was suggested by the "Hippolytus" of Euripedes." "A Daughter of Bohemia" was published by D. Appleton & Co in 1874 and has several lovely full-page engravings. Christian Reid was the pen name of Christine Fisher Tiernan, a prolific writer whose work is noted for "its honest and realistic portrait of life in southern society". "To the Bitter End" was published by Harper & Brothers in 1873 with several lovely illustrations. Braddon wrote 75 novels, the most famous of which was "Lady Audley's Secret." "The Gordian Knot" published by Harper & Brothers in 1868 has only one of the illustrations John Tenniel designed for the novel. Brooks was a prominent literary figure in Victorian London, and was for a time editor of "Punch." The leather is considerably worn along the 3-inch thick spine, as are the corners, but the pages are intact. Each novel has its own copyright page and most have several pages of the publishers' ads. Marbled endpapers.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Mae, Miss (illustratore). Paperback. It's 1938 and times are hard. The Great Depression strikes the South, forcing many residents to sell their farms. When boll weevils infest her family's cotton crop, Jenny Largent's only option is to accept an invitation to join her aunt in Chicago to seek employment. Her family depends on her. At the Kankakee depot, Jenny confronts a handsome, blond stranger over her missing vanity case. She retrieves her case and relaxes. But not for long. The same obnoxious man takes the pulpit in her aunt's church to coerce the congregation into giving to his "worthy cause." Tornadoes struck a small Illinois town, leaving it in ruins. Austin Brady begs the church for money to rebuild the town. When Jenny's abusive father deserted the family, he left her with emotional scars. She vows never to marry. Will Jenny ask Austin the tough questions that will ultimately make or break their relationship? Will she obey God's nudging to reconcile with her estranged father? This item is printed on demand.
