The Tides of Barnegat

Out of print for more than half a century, the text and original art are carefully reproduced here in a reprint of this classic 1906 seashore novel. F. Hopkinson Smith's Victorian novel "makes you yearn for the time when things such as honor and duty and responsibility and commitment were actually taken seriously," said one reviewer. An introduction by historian John Bailey Lloyd keys the reader in to what is below the surface of all the strident virtue - strength commingled with human weakness - and provides a fascinating look at the author, a remarkable man who was a marine engineer, builder of lighthouses, writer, and fine artist.Francis Hopkinson Smith is the author of 'The Tides of Barnegat', published 2001 under ISBN 9780945582823 and ISBN 094558282X.
