Happy Book Discovery

~ Adrienne Morris

I love getting cash for Christmas! As some of you know my character, Buck Crenshaw goes to Saratoga Springs in the 1880’s for his honeymoon. Imagine my excitement yesterday when I stumbled upon this little gem of a book published, yes, in the 1880’s!

It’s a comical tale about a grumpy old man who’s dragged to Saratoga by his wife who’s got “terrible corns.” She hopes the healing spring water will help.

Line drawings from the period fascinate me.

The book is full of weirdly spelled words and funny slang I will gather up for Buck’s visit.

All written by a very respectable-looking woman.
