Book Overview

"Jerry Junior" is a 1907 novel by American writer Jean Webster's. Her third novel, it follows a wealthy upper-class American called Jerry who sets about to woo an attractive American woman whilst waiting for his sister to arrive in an Italian village. Set in the 1900s, this romantic comedy will appeal to those with an interest in romantic fiction and Italy at the turn of the twentieth century. "Jean Webster" is the pseudonym of Alice Jane Chandler Webster (1876 - 1916), an American writer who authored many well-known books including "Daddy-Long-Legs" and "Dear Enemy". Her most famous works are often characterised by powerful, likable young female main characters who experience a maturation and intellectual coming-of-age morally and socially. Including witty humour, snappy dialogue, and social commentary, her works are still read and enjoyed by readers today the world over. 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.
