Description
Original vintage 1901 Century Co. Publishing edition. Hardcover has some fraying at edges and has a slight lean to it. The pages are clean and in good condition. The page at inside front and back cover has a seam at spine, but the binding is otherwise secure.
This delightful early 20th century novel by Alice Caldwell Hegan offers a heartwarming glimpse into the lives of the impoverished but resilient residents of the Cabbage Patch, a fictional shantytown in Louisville, Kentucky. Published just after the turn of the century, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch” captured the public’s imagination with its charming portrayal of a loving mother’s determination to provide for her family despite their dire circumstances. Hegan’s vivid depictions of the Cabbage Patch and its colorful characters, combined with her warm humor and optimistic outlook, struck a chord with readers seeking uplifting tales during an era of rapid industrialization and social upheaval. This 1901 first edition from the Century Co. represents a significant literary artifact from the dawn of the 20th century, when novels celebrating the indomitable human spirit offered solace and inspiration to a rapidly changing society.
