The Cousins' Courtship - Volume II

This is volume II of John R. Wise's 1859 novel "The Cousins' Courtship". His first novel, this charming, classic tale of traditional English life will appeal to all true lovers of the English language, and it would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. John Richard de Capel Wise (1883 - 1890) was an English writer, journalist, and editor. Other notable works by this author include: "The First of May: A Fairy Masque" (1881), "The New Forest: its History and its Scenery" (1862), and "Shakespeare: his Birthplace and its Neighbourhood" (1861). Contents include: "Ride on an Engine", "Skating and Dancing", "The Quarrel and Reconciliation", "The Meet at Medley Gorge", "The Search", "College Life", "The Queen of the May", "Plough of St. Mark's", "The Great Boat-race", "Commemoration at Oxford", "Mrs. Neville's Schools", "A Narrow Escape", "The Valley of the Shadow of Death", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming 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.
