Blue-Bird Weather

Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. Robert William Chambers (1865-1933) was an American artist and writer. According to some estimates, Chambers was one of the most successful literary careers of his period, his later novels selling well and a handful achieving best-seller status. Many of his works were also serialized in magazines. City man meets country woman and sparks fly in this romance novella set on Chesapeake Bay during blue-bird weather, that delightful reprieve from endless winter, also known as the January thaw. Urban gentleman John Marche goes to New England expecting to go duck-hunting, but finds himself hunted by love as well. Includes vintage illustration
