About This Item
NY: American News Company, 1880. 1st US. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover, green cloth stamped in black and gilt, 646 pages, 2 b&w engravings. First published in 1796, The Children of the Abbey examines societal expectations and class division in an intricate tapestry of romance, the supernatural, and social commentary. Mentioned in both Jane Austen's Emma (1815) and L. M. Montgomery's Emily Climbs (1925), this compelling novel is a timelessly influential work of classic gothic romance. Young orphans Amanda and Oscar Fitzalan are cheated of their rightful inheritance and raised in the confines of an abbey. As they grow, they discover dark, treacherous secrets held within the walls of their home, and haunting events blur at the edge of their peaceful existence. Bookplate dated 1880 on inside front cover, otherwise a clean, bright copy. Record # 385065
