By Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Book Overview

""The Queen of Sheba"" by Thomas Bailey Aldrich is a novel that tells the story of a young American artist named John Delancy who travels to Italy to pursue his passion for painting. While there, he meets a beautiful and mysterious woman named Princess Yasmini, who claims to be the Queen of Sheba. She takes him on a journey to the Middle East, where he discovers a world of exotic beauty and danger. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a wealthy Arab merchant, a ruthless bandit, and a wise old sage. As John becomes more and more enamored with Yasmini, he begins to question whether she is truly the Queen of Sheba or just a clever imposter. The novel is a romantic adventure that explores themes of love, identity, and cultural differences.""The thousandth part of a minute late "" cried Flemming, throwing open the door. ""There's no excuse for me. When a man lives in a city where they manufacture a hundred thousand watches a year--that's one watch and a quarter every five minutes day and night--it's a moral duty to be punctual. Ned, you look like a prize pink this morning.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
