William Dean Howells 
The Vacation Of The Kelwyns [EPUB ebook] 

‚The Vacation of the Kelwyns‘ was written at the time of his greatest literary activity but for purely personal reasons was denied publication by him during his lifetime. The exquisite delineation of the New England character, as affected by the Shaker faith, and the delicate love story set against the quaint rural background, will undoubtedly rank this with the most distinguished of Mr. Howells‘ works.
