Editor's review

This novel comes from the American writer Gouverneur Morris and belongs to the popular narrative works of the early twentieth century; it is included in Project Gutenberg's free eBook library. Project Gutenberg, the earliest provider of eBooks, was founded by Michael Hart in 1971 with the aim of making literary resources freely accessible to more people, a background that adds a layer of digital humanities significance to reading this book. Morris's novels often handle character relationships and emotional entanglements in a light tone, with tight plotting, making them a suitable sample for understanding English popular fiction of that period. For readers who want light reading on the commute or before bed, this book is moderate in length and plain in language, without placing too heavy a burden. At the same time, as a public-domain English original, it can also serve as supplementary material for English learners encountering early modern English narrative. Note that the materials do not provide a specific plot summary or literary assessment of the book; readers should not presume its classic status before reading and are better off approaching it with a relaxed, exploratory attitude.

About the author

Morris, Gouverneur, 1876-1953 Author

Gouverneur Morris (1876–1953) is an author about whom relatively little biographical information is publicly available; seven of his works are held in the collection. Judging from these titles, he wrote chiefly novels and short stories, often with elements of fantasy and adventure. His representative works include The Seven Darlings, It, and Other Stories, The Spread Eagle and Other Stories, Aladdin O'Brien, If You Touch Them They Vanish, We Three, and The Penalty. The titles suggest a preference for vivid characters and suspenseful or whimsical situations, with both story collections and full-length fiction. Because reliable public information on his nationality, education, and career is limited, his literary standing is difficult to assess, yet these works clearly reflect his interest in light, plot-driven storytelling.
