6372d. Cooper, James A., TOBIAS O’THE LIGHT – A Story of Cape Cod. Cleveland. 1933.
6372d. Cooper, James A., TOBIAS O’THE LIGHT – A Story of Cape Cod. Cleveland. 1933. 338 pp. DJ. Another matchless Cape Cod fiction. This book is a darling little story of Tobias Bassett, the lighthouse keeper of the fictionalized lighthouse on Cape Cod, his sister housekeeper, Heppy, and of two young people who are by both families slated to marry each, much to the disdain of their own ideas. Tobias decided to takes things into his own hands and becomes an unknown matchmaker. The story unfolds with much feeling, bad storms, a shipwreck or two, an insight into daily chores of a lighthouse keeper then, treachery afoot in the little town, and the ever increasing love story of the two unwilling young people to be steered to each other. Framed in very stilted language of novels written back in 1920, it nevertheless, is peppered with lots of good humor. Clean, tight, some light edge wear in bright but chipped dust jacket. (VG) $24.
