Philadelphia: Hubbard Publishing Co., 1887. Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued.
Cream cloth over the spine with gilt stamped titles to maroon morroco leather . The bindings are firm with the front hinge starting. Text clean, even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with rubbed corners and some soil on the cream cloth. 6 inches tall; 325 pages. . This engaging narrative unfolds as an elderly couple explores 1880's Saratoga, a town steeped in both healing and mischief. Through the lens of a cantankerous husband and wife, the story vividly captures Saratoga's vibrant past with delightful irreverence.
Marietta Holley, also known as Jemyma and Josiah Allen's Wife, was a prominent American humorist of the late 19th century. Despite being compared to Mark Twain during her lifetime, she, like many female artists, faded from the spotlight after her 1926 passing.
Holley's legacy as an early female humorist endures, appealing to diverse audiences with themes of prohibition and women's rights woven into her works.
