Produktbeschreibung

Nobody ever goes to Portmaris; that is to say, nobody who is anybody. It lies—but no matter, ours shall not be the hand to ruin its simplicity by advertising its beauties and advantages, and directing the madding crowd to its sylvan retreat. At present the golden sands which line the bay are innocent of the negro troupe, the peripatetic conjurer, and the monster in human form who pesters you to purchase hideous objects manufactured from shells and cardboard.

Autorenporträt

Charles Garvice (1850-1920) was a highly prolific British novelist known for writing over 150 romance novels during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works, often characterized by themes of romance, adventure, and melodrama, were immensely popular not only in the UK but also in the United States and around the world. Garvice was considered one of the most successful novelists in England during his time, with his novels frequently serialized in magazines and widely read in both English-speaking countries and abroad. In addition to writing under his own name, Garvice also used the female pseudonym Caroline Hart. His storytelling often featured strong heroines and captivating romantic plots, appealing especially to a predominantly female audience. Arnold Bennett referred to Garvice as "the most successful novelist in England" in 1910, acknowledging his significant influence on popular fiction. Garvice was born to Andrew John Garvice and Mira Winter, and after his death in 1920, his legacy continued to shape the landscape of romantic fiction well into the 20th century.
