Description
"The name of Bess Streeter Aldrich has come to stand for two qualities among members of the American reading public. The first is the ability to tell a good story - a story full of the movement, the ever-present interplay of character and event, of life itself. The second is a particular realization of the courage and achievements of the men and women who settled the American Midwest. Mrs. Aldrich's work reflects a thorough understanding of the heartbreaks and hardships which these early settlers had to undergo, but it conveys equally well the robust and romantic view of life which frequently illuminated their existence and transcended its harsh material conditions." This omnibus includes two complete and unabridged novels: "A Lantern in Her Hand" and "Miss Bishop"; and five short stories: "The Day of Retaliation," "Will the Romance Be the Same," "Star across the Tracks," "Another Brought Gifts," and "I Remember."
