Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Berkeley Heroine: And Others Stories Every book has a preface, my publisher tells me, and when I inquired what a preface was, he told me it was a printed page in front of the book that nobody reads, but generally gives some hint how and why the book came to be written. The only reasons I can give for writing this volume were, I had plenty of spare time, and that one of my officers on the Sumpter wrote to me that the story of the capture of the "Sultana" should be told in print, and every word as I have told it is true. I may say that all of the story of "How we Fooled the Schoolmaster," is also true and was an episode of my boyhood days. The tale of "A Berkeley Heroine" is also - that is, readers can believe it if they want to without extra charge.
