Seller's Description:
Near Fine. No Jacket. 8vo 7.75-9.75'' tall. 1929. Nice Firm Clean copy! 254 pages. Malaeska was the first dime novel, the first complete book of fiction ever sold for ten cents, number one of the Beadle series which ran into the hundreds and circulated by the millions. It was published in June, 1860. The fine old house of Beadle, taking this pioneer step, proposed as stated in the original 'blurb not only to answer the popular demand for works of romance, but also to instill a pure and elevating end to the hearts and minds of the people. ' Such was the spirit in which was born the mighty line of little volumes which later became, quite unjustly, anathema to preachers, teachers and stern parents. And the first of those hated books was written, if you please, by a woman of considerable literary fame, the editor of eminently respectable household magazines and the author of The Old Homestead. Now, after nearly seventy years, Malaeska is restored to the public in more pretentious dress. Few reprints of old forgotten works have been so important. For the dime novel was not only uniquely American; it was the principal origin of our keen interest in the American pioneers and the winning of the West. 6367.
