Couverture du James Fenimore Cooper: Autobiography of a Pocket-Hankerchief (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

This satirical short novel displays a side of Cooper unfamiliar to many modern readers. It is told from the point of view of an actual handkerchief: its origins in a French flax field, how it was passed around New York City society in the 1830s, and its eventual return to its maker. In this story, Cooper makes a point of ridiculing Victorian materialism—which places value on consumption, not production.
