Omschrijving

The Romance of an Old Fashioned Gentleman is a novel written by F. Hopkinson Smith. The story revolves around the life of an old-fashioned gentleman named John Grayson, who is a wealthy and respected member of society. He leads a simple and contented life, devoted to his family, friends, and charitable causes. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he falls in love with a young woman named Kitty, who is half his age. Despite the disapproval of society and his family, John pursues his love for Kitty, and they eventually get married. The novel explores the themes of love, age, and societal norms, and presents a heartwarming tale of an old-fashioned gentleman who follows his heart and finds happiness in unexpected ways.1907. Smith had several careers: engineer, artist, illustrator and short story writer. His success in engineering included planning the foundations for the Statue of Liberty. He traveled frequently to Europe and became known for his portraits and illustration. Smith was an entertaining after-dinner storyteller and in his fifties he decided to commit his stories to paper and is remembered for his Colonel Carter novels. The Romance of an Old-Fashioned Gentleman is a South Maryland period romance classic. The book begins: Blossom week in Maryland! The air steeped in perfume and soft as a caress; the sky a luminous gray interwoven with threads of silver, flakings of pearl and tiny scales of opal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
