No wonder Marcella and her two new friends are so interested in the Hermit. There is something very queer about the old man and his odd museum. Who is He? Why does he live all by himself on the deserted beach? Queerest of all, why does his priceless violin disappear so curiously? Marcella is very glad that Jack and his sister have come to stay at her father's Inn. For it takes more than one detective to solve all the mysterious happenings on that lonely beach!

Set in New York in the early 1900s, Melissa Across the Fence begins with an enchanting description of the grand house next door. "In the rear, a lawn ran right back to the fence broken only by a narrow gravel walk, and with a stone fountain directly in the middle. In the spring and summer, water bubbled up in the fountain-basin in jets of flying spray . . . But there was one strange thing about the house that puzzled Melissa: nobody ever seemed to live in it." However, that soon changes when the shut-up house becomes occupied and Melissa sees a mysterious, pale-looking boy always looking out his window. Who is he? Why does he never come outside? Melissa finds out by writing a message on her chalkboard and holding it up outside the boy's window. A sweet story of friendship ensues, sprinkled with gentle adventure. "One of the best ways to form noble, beautiful character and writing skills in a child is to give the child books that are noble and beautiful-books like Melissa Across the Fence. We are proud to be bringing back literature by Augusta Huiell Seaman, a well-loved, gifted author who published over 40 books for children." -Jenny Phillips The Mission of The Good and the Beautiful Library -To bring back wholesome, high-quality books that were previously hard or impossible to find -To offer new, uplifting literature and clean-language versions of worthy classics -Give parents a place to buy books that are always clean, uplifting, and of the highest value

The Good and the Beautiful

"The hush of a golden May afternoon lay on the peaceful, watery streets of Leyden." Thus begins the story of Jacqueline and her brother, Gysbert, but things do not remain peaceful for long. Leyden soon lay completely encircled by the Spanish army. With wonderfully trained carrier pigeons, determination to find a way out of the city, and a lot of courage, the two siblings believe they can help free Leyden. Augusta Huiell Seaman weaves rich historical detail into an engaging plot, complete with a father who has been missing for years, a nurse acting mysteriously, and a dangerous visitor to the city. "When we give a book to a child, we are giving him or her ideas and language that shape their heart, mind, writing skills, and so much more, so books should be chosen carefully. The goal of The Good and the Beautiful Library is to help parents and children have access to a library of books that are of the best moral, literary, educational, and entertainment value-books like Jacqueline of the Carrier Pigeons."-Jenny Phillips The Mission of The Good and the Beautiful Library -To bring back wholesome, high-quality books that were previously hard or impossible to find -To offer new, uplifting literature and clean-language versions of worthy classics -Give parents a place to buy books that are always clean, uplifting, and of the highest value
