Synopsis

In "Sam Lawson's Oldtown Fireside Stories," Harriet Beecher Stowe engages readers with a vibrant collection of tales that reflect the rich tapestry of early American life. Set against the backdrop of Oldtown, Stowe weaves together folklore and moral anecdotes through the voice of Sam Lawson, a character emblematic of the rustic storyteller tradition. The book's simplicity in style belies its depth, as it tackles profound themes of community, perseverance, and the human condition, situated within the literary context of the mid-19th century, where storytelling was paramount in shaping cultural identity and social values. Harriet Beecher Stowe, renowned for her groundbreaking work "Uncle Tom's Cabin," draws upon her New England upbringing and her experiences as an educator and social reformer to inform her narrative style in these stories. Her innate understanding of the complexities of American society and her advocacy against slavery resonate throughout the text, making her voice both poignant and reflective of the time while appealing to moral sensibilities. "Sam Lawson's Oldtown Fireside Stories" is highly recommended for those interested in exploring the intersection of storytelling and social consciousness in early American literature. Stowe's deft characterization and ability to evoke empathy invite readers to consider the enduring power of stories to illuminate the human experience, making this collection a must-read for both literary enthusiasts and historians.

    Dashing, handsome and much in demand with Society ladies, the Duke of Oswestry is trapped by the beautiful but duplicitous Lady Marlene with whom he has just finished an ill-advised love affair.
     
    Claiming that she is with child and, falsely, that he is the father, she demands that he marries her or she will cause a great Society scandal, something that the Duke in his worst nightmares would never tolerate.
     
    He has previously vowed never to marry, but it seems that now there is no escape for him until a beautiful young girl appears at his front door begging him to save her from two men who are relentlessly pursuing her.
     
    Suddenly the Duke has an idea. He can save them both from their own pursuers simply by pretending that he is engaged to this lovely young waif, Udela Hayward.
     
    Little does he suspect, however, the violent passions that his pretence betrothal provokes.
     
    When there is a diabolical attempt on his life by his jealous younger brother, Lord Julius and a band of cutthroats, it is the innocent Udela who bravely saves his life.
     
    And to whom he finally loses his heart and she is carried to the stars when he kisses her for the first time.

    Peter Rabbit was on his way back from the pond of Paddy the Beaver deep in the Green Forest. He had just seen Mr. and Mrs. Quack start toward the Big River for a brief visit before leaving on their long, difficult journey to the far-away Southland. Farewells are always rather sad, and this particular farewell had left Peter with a lump in his throat, a queer, choky feeling.
