This is volume ten of Eva March Tappan's "A Friend in the Library"
series, being a comprehensive guide to the writings of six seminal
American poets including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf Whittier, and
Oliver Wendell Holmes. This volume deals chiefly with the concept of
fiction, looking at the short stories produced by these seminal American
writers. "A Friend In The Library" is an easy-to-digest guide that will
appeal to anyone with an interest in the English language, and it is not
to be missed by students and teachers of English literature. Eva March
Tappan (1854 - 1930) was an American author and teacher. Other notable
works by this author include: "Adventures & Achievements" (1900), "Poems
& Rhymes" (1900), and "In the Days of Queen Elizabeth" (1902). Many
vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is
with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an
affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a
specially-commissioned new biography of the author. This book was first
published in 1909.
