Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Flower of the World A man lay basking on the sunny rocks. He was a big handsome fellow, blond bearded, blue eyed. He sprawled there, half sleepy, half smiling, and watched a child dancing in the breaking surf-line along the narrow row curve of beach below. The swift swirl of the waters, the shift and shimmer of revolving sands, far from inspiring any sense of apprehension, seemed to excite the little dancer to a wild and reckless ecstasy. She could not have been more than seven or eight years old. Unconscious of audience, bare-headed, her tattered wisp of a skirt clinging about her little thin legs, she pranced in the spray. She had flung a wreath of kelp over her shoulders. Now and then she gave a shrill shriek. The reedy sound floated up to the man like the cry of a sea-bird. The rocky ledge from which he watched jutted out above the rim of horseshoe beach so that his position was very similar to that of a spectator in a loge over looking the stage of a theatre. A flight of rickety steps led down to the sands; but it was hidden from the child by a jut in the cliff. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
