This early work by Alice Hegan Rice was originally published in 1912. Set in America's Deep South, this comic novel is yet another great read from the author of the 1902 bestseller, Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch and is an excellent example of Rice's work. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.
