Exert from book: "Ah the true rule is - a true wife in her husband's house is his servant; it is in his heart that she is queen. Whatever of the best he can conceive, it is her part to be; whatever of the highest he can hope, it is hers to promise; all that is dark in him she must purge into purity; all that is failing in him she must stengthen into truth; from her, through all the world's clamor, he must win his praise; in her, through all the world's warfare, he must find his peace."-JOHN RUSKIN. Great book to add insight of this great Victorian era. Shipping in the U.S. will be $4.00. Thanks for visiting DOGWOOD TRAIL ANTIQUES.

Super nice clean pages, only one edge stain.

Inside dust-jacket has reference to book.
A very modern love story whose scene is Japan and whose heroine is an American girl. In scope, in dramatic power, in the sweep of the passionate love story and in its understanding of the subtle depths of Oriental character, it stands as one of the most true to life novels of the year. No one can be beyond the range of its fascinations. It is indeed, a romance with a golden heart.
Good-luck. Super LOW RESERVE!!
