ABOUT BOOK

By all odds the most popular story ever published. We doubt if, in all the range and realm of literature, there has ever been a heroine who could vie with the captivating mad-cap Capitola in exciting the admiration of readers, or in winning and keeping their hearts. She is so bright, so spirited, so beautiful, so sagacious, so dauntless, and yet so innocent and childlike, that she at once takes all readers captive and holds them enchained by her fascinations clear to the last page of the narrative.
