Lucile

This is a gem that I discovered recently in my grandmother's collection and I'm THRILLED to have found a copy I can reread over and over again without having to worry about damaging the book.

I fell in love with the Stephanie Plum books like so many others. It's a very entertaining read and has a special place in my heart as I too am from NJ.

Awesome find, thanks! Great, quick service.

I have an illustrated version with the pages 'gold edged' (lack of a better term) with Lucille's caricature on the upper corners with butterflies, flowers, and so forth up and down the sides of each page with the copyrights 1883 and 1885. Very old. I've owned it for twenty years. Yes, the story is a bit 'unique' but it's a great story with redeeming moral qualities of a time, and people long gone (unfortunately). My book is in great condition, and it looks good in my library!

This is a strange book - it is a very long narrative poem, some of which is based on "Lavina" by George Sand. It is a familiar love story - falling in love and losing love has been told in tales forever. But not in poetry such as this. It's an interesting read, just to see how the writer manages to make a poem of this length flow together into a story.I recommend it highly.
