| | 1 | Author: | Cooper, James Fenimore | Add | | | Title: | Preface to the Water Witch [a machine-readable transcription]  | | | | Published: | 1996 | | | | Description: | It was a bold attempt to lay the scene of a work like this, on the coast of America. We have had
our Buccaneer on the water, and our witches on the land, but we believe this is the first time
occasion on which the rule has been reversed. After an experience that has now lasted more than twenty
years, the result has shown that the public prefers the original order of things. In other words, the book
has proved a comparative failure. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
