The Fatal Glove: A Novel, by Clara Augusta. Clara Augusta Jones Trask (1839-1905) wrote stories and poems for magazines and for the Beadle dime novel series. She used the pseudonyms “Clara Augusta,” “Hero Strong” and “Kate Thorn.”. This story, from 1892, tells the tale of an orphaned boy-done-well, a murder, and True Love.
In addition, the book has a short story, “Constitutionally Bashful,” tacked onto the end. The author is unknown. Bashful in this case means the protagonist is unable to be in the same room, nor even speak, with females not related to him.
It’s pretty common for (cheap) books of the 1890s to have more than one work in a binding, and I’m not sure why. Is it printing efficiency? Lagniappe?
Thanks to Mary Meehan for Post-Processing this book, with all of its parts!
