1864. Arthur, Thomas. The Life of Grace Darling the Heroine of the Farne Isles. London. 1885. Religious Book Society. 124p. Green decorated cloth wraps. The story of the legendary Grace Darling, the daughter of a lighthouse keeper on the Northern coast of England , has been retold for over a hundred years. In 1838 Grace and her father rowed more than a mile to rescue passengers and crew of a foundering steamship, a deed that was to gain her immortality. One of the first “media” heroines, many Victorian journalists rose to the occasion, taking the simple daughter from life into legend. A very good, detailed account of her life. Contents are clean but front hinge has come loose and some pages have detached. Wrape soiled and worn to edges. (G+) $18.
