Excerpt from Hester Blair: The Romance of a Country Girl A preface to an author's first work might, it seems to me, be deemed and impertinence. However, new authors, young or old in years, if not in judgment, have a last word to say, and, in my opinion, most improperly say it in the form of an introduction to their work. It were better, perhaps, with justice to himself and his readers, that his foreword embody an apology. What right has he to presume on the readers patience or good-nature? Most assuredly, none, and yet - and yet I have a story to tell. It is a simple tale, as life is simple, yet running through it, the veins, eddies, and undercurrents that make our lives more or less complex. Each of us knows a Hester, a John Gary or a Slack. They are of the common, everyday sort of people. I have endeavored to paint them as they are - of flesh and blood. This is a plain tale of love, of joy, of suffering. However, it may be I have failed in the telling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
