Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Time of Her Life: And Other Stories There have been in the past a good many attempts in fiction to portray Quaker life with its peculiarities, its faults and its virtues; but coming from the pens of outsiders, many of the pictures are far from correct, or pleasing; with perhaps, the one exception of "The Quaker Settlement," in Uncle Tom´s Cabin. I have endeavoured in these stories to give a more authentic presentment of phases of Friendly life, in the hope that it will interest the rising generation, many of whom so nobly uphold the true spirit of Quakerism, although what were once considered its essential outer signs are rapidly becoming things of the past. It may be best to point out at once how much is fact, and how much fiction. The stories were first suggested to me by handling old family relics, which set me trying to realise the lives and characters of their original owners.
