The Fifth String, by John Philip Sousa, the Illustrations by Howard Chandler Christy. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Co. ©1902
3 p. l., 124, [1] p. front., plates. 20 cm.
This is an odd little novella, the story of a virtuoso violinist and the woman he hopes to woo.
As I was scanning this, I kept thinking about how all I’ve known about Sousa is his marches, so I certainly didn’t expect Satan to appear in the book!
In PG already, but without these lovely illos by Christy.
