Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Manners of My Time Miss C. L. H. Dempster died at Cannes on the 8th of May 1913. but owing to the European war it has only now become possible to publish The Manners of my Time. The "Sister Helen" to whom the volume is dedicated having died in 1917, the task of editing it has fallen to me, the authoress´s goddaughter. To all lovers of the Riviera Miss Dempster´s book, The Maritime Alps and their Seaboard, is well known. Of her earlier writings, The Hotel du Petit St Jean, Vera, Iseulte and Blue Roses were popular with the novel-readers of her day. Vera, a story of the Crimean war, was translated into Russian, and Blue Roses was to be found on almost every bookstall in America. In 1891 Miss Dempster joined the Roman Church, and it was the wish of her sister that the proceeds of this volume should be devoted to the Chapel of St Charles des Carrieres, a little church between Cannes and Le Cannet which Miss Dempster helped to build for the quarrymen living in that neighbourhood.
