which was one of the marked successes of the year, has written a still
more exciting romance of colonial Virginia life of an early period—
the period of Master John Rolfe, who appears in a very attractive way in the
story.
It will be published as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly, beginning with
the number for June.
The freshness and vigor of Miss Johnston’s new story and its wholesomely
exciting scenes will give it a permanent high place among historical romances,
Primarily as a story, but incidentally as a delicate and truthful description
of life at the time, it holds the reader’s close attention from the first chapter.
