Produktbeschreibung
A tale that quietly changes hearts while painting the sea-washed streets of a British island. A romance tempered by duty, Carette of Sark invites readers into a world where courage and courtesy shape character as surely as the tides shape the shore. In Oxenham's deft, crystal-clear prose, the island setting and Edwardian Britain ambience fuse with enduring themes of romance and virtue, social class, and personal integrity. This is a character¿driven story that rewards attention to motive and mood as much as plot, appealing to general fiction readers and classic-literature collectors alike. The book lingers where kindness, steadfastness, and quiet sacrifice meet the realities of everyday life, offering a thoughtful window into a bygone era without sacrificing immediacy or emotional pull. Rarely reissued for modern audiences, Carette of Sark carries historical resonance as a beloved public domain novel that captures the sensibilities of early twentieth¿century fiction. Its appearance now by Alpha Editions marks a moment of literary preservation: a restored treasure for today's readers and future generations. Out of print for decades, this edition is more than a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a gift for readers who relish nuanced character studies, seaside atmosphere, and the quiet virtues that endure.
Autorenporträt
John Oxenham was an English journalist, author, and poet who died on January 23, 1941. He was born in Manchester and spent a short time in the United States after his marriage before relocating to Ealing, West London, where he worked as a deacon and teacher at the Ealing Congregational Church beginning in the 1880s. In 1922, he went to Worthing, Sussex, and was elected mayor. Dunkerley published poetry, hymns, and novels under his own name as well as as John Oxenham. His poetry includes the best-selling Bees in Amber: A Little Book of Thoughtful Verse (1913). He also penned "Greatheart" as a poem. In War and Peace: Songs of a Scotswoman, she wrote the foreword and evaluated the poetry of Mary H. J. Henderson, the administrator of the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service. For journalism, he used the pen name Julian Ross. His novel A Mystery of the Underground (1897) is significant for being both an early serial killer murder narrative and a very early crime story set on the London Underground (District Line).
