Richards, Laura E., — Narcissa or The Road to Rome.

Boston, Estes & Lauriat, 1894. 11th thousand. Fair. Two parts of Narcissa: Draming and Waking; plus an interesting third section titled In Verona that is about the countryside of. Maine which Richards calls the "all white and smiling, tucked away under the great hill-shoulder that curls lovingly round it. The cleanest, freshest, sleepiest little New England village!" She details a story she likens to Romeo and Juliet where a young lad remarks that "There ought to be a law against ugly women" especially when they remain in a room where you wish to romance a young girl. Front flyleaf lists other books by Richards: Melody, Captain January, When I Was Your Age, Glimpses of the French Court, and Marie. Library markings, front endpaper cut down to hold a library card, stamps and inscription, binding blue with green flowered wreath design and white with blue lettering. Some soil and edge wear.
