In The Wilds Of Florida

In The Wilds of Florida (1897) by W.H.G. Kingston – Crappy Old Books Edition

Step into the steamy swamps and tangled forests of 19th-century Florida in this long-forgotten classic of Victorian adventure. In The Wilds of Florida (1897) by W.H.G. Kingston, published by Thomas Nelson and Sons, delivers everything you’d expect from a Kingston tale: bold boys, moral lessons, and the occasional alligator.

Join our plucky young heroes as they brave hurricanes, hostile wildlife, and the general inconvenience of being British in the American wilderness. Is it historically accurate? Not exactly. Is it thrilling? Arguably. Is it a charming relic of empire-era storytelling packed with outdated attitudes and questionable geography? Absolutely.

Sold with love (and a bit of mildew) by Crappy Old Books – where yesterday’s forgotten fiction gets one more chance to confuse and delight.

Very nice copy, with illustrations.
