Landlubbers (1909)

The Landlubbers is a novel written by Gertrude King and published in 1909. The story follows the lives of two sisters, Edith and Violet, who are forced to leave their comfortable life in the city and move to a small town by the sea after their father's death. The girls find it difficult to adjust to their new surroundings and the unfamiliar way of life in the coastal town. They are initially looked down upon by the locals, who refer to them as ""landlubbers"" due to their lack of knowledge about the sea. However, over time, the sisters begin to adapt and learn about the town's unique culture and traditions. They make new friends, including a young fisherman named Tom, and become involved in the community's activities. The Landlubbers explores themes of adaptation, community, and the importance of embracing new experiences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
