The novel explores themes of prejudice, love, and acceptance as Manuel tries to find his place in a new community.As a matter of fact he was not very hungry. Breakfast was always a more or less perfunctory meal with him. But he was surprised to see the variety of eatables upon that table. There were cookies there, and doughnuts, and even half an apple pie. Pie for breakfast! It had been a newspaper joke at which he had laughed many times. But it seemed not to be a joke here, rather a solemn reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt
Prolific American writer Joseph Crosby Lincoln (1870-1944) was known for his short stories and novels that perfectly encapsulated New England culture. Lincoln was born in Brewster, Massachusetts, and lived most of his life on Cape Cod. His many creative works were inspired by this idyllic location. Lincoln became a well-known personality in American literature during the height of his writing career in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He wrote more than 40 books and many short tales, becoming well-known for his ability to combine romance, humour, and astute observations on human nature. His tales, which frequently took place in sleepy New England communities, struck a chord with readers because they provided a lovable and genuine depiction of ordinary life. Joseph C. Lincoln made a substantial contribution to the literary scene of his era with his captivating storytelling, even though he may not be as well-known today as some of his contemporaries. His depictions of humour, communal life, and the enduring attraction of New England landscapes are what make his works so beloved even today.
