Book Overview

Yesterday this guest had rung the bell and demanded a partner to play lawn tennis -- as if the hotel kept partners laid away in drawers like so many sheets. The guest, Jerymn Hilliard, Jr., is unexpectedly at loose ends in tiny Valedolmo. He has seen all the Baedeker sights already . . . Then he learns that in a rose-colored villa, surrounded with cypress and with a terrazzo on the lake, lives another American -- one with a daughter: a Signorina Constantina: "beautiful like the angels in Paradise," says Gustavo.

American novelist Jean Webster, best known for Daddy-Long-Legs, which became a silent picture for Mary Pickford, also wrote popular books for young people, including this entertaining story of an American abroad.

About Jean Webster

Jean Webster was the pen name of Alice Jane Chandler Webster (1876-1916) who was born and lived most of her life in New York State. She was the great-niece of Mark Twain. Daddy-Long-Legs was not her first book, but it is the one for which she is mostly remembered. It was published in 1912, followed by a sequel in 1914 called Dear Enemy. She married in 1915 and tragically died in childbirth a year later.
