Author Description

Excerpt from Painted Windows And over what roads! Now it was a strip of corduroy, now a piece of well graded elevation with clay subsoil and gravel surface, now a neglected stretch full of dangerous holes; and worst of all, running through the great forests, long pieces of road from which the stumps had been only partly extracted, and where the sunlight barely pene trated. Here the soaked earth became little less than a quagmire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
