Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Jasper Francis Cropsey and George Inness. Santa Catalina, twice over. In the first part Sir Francis Drake's ship puts in at the island for water and plunder, and Wildenai, daughter of the chief of the Mariposa, falls in love with Harold, a young Englishman in Drake's company, just as his captain is tempted to break his word to her people. In the second a visitor from Los Angeles and a Miss Hastings find the old story working on them in the same cove. Charlotte Herr wrote for children and for readers who wanted a legend done gracefully, and she lets the two love stories meet at the end. Fifty-seven coastal plates, from Benjamin West's Nelson to Martin Johnson Heade's Rhode Island marshes, catch the island light that carries both halves of the story.
