About This Item
Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc, 1955, First Edition. Very Good/No Jacket. George Mayers. Octavo, hardcover, VG in green boards with gilt lettering. No dj. A sympathetic portrayal of early American wartime romance. Setting is Charleston 1780. Bold as brass, she bangs on the neighbors' doors and demands their coffee and rice to cook and serve the men on the firing line. Wickedly, when her straight-laced Tory Aunt Angela comes after her, she slips the wooden paddle in her hand and leaves her to stir the kettle. " 310 pp.
