The Wet Nurse's Tale
Advance Reader's Copy-Great Morality Tale!
This is an Advanced Reader's Copy (which some consider the true first edition) and not
the hardcover version as stated above.
VERY RARE ADVANCED READERS COPY, ALSO KNOW IN THE PUBLISHING BUSINESS AS AN ARC, UNCORRECTED READERS PROOF AND OR A BOUND GALLEY.
Proofs are printed in advance of publication. Typically, proofs have very low print runs. Most proofs are extremely hard to come by and can become highly sought after collector's items, sometimes increasing dramatically in value. This copy is in very good condition.
THE WET NURSE'S TALE manages to combine two satisfying and familiar novel forms: most obviously it is a brilliantly authentic-sounding Victorian story about a young woman without money or social stature who finds herself betrayed and abandoned again and again, with nothing but her wits and her ti** (er, her breasts) to save her; it is also a resoundingly feminist story about a resilient, plucky, practical young woman who must trust her own judgment rather than following the dictates of society, the church, her family and even her heart if she is to further the best interests of her offspring and herself.
Funny, moving and almost impossible to put down, THE WET NURSE'S TALE deserves all the accolades it has received so far - not only from the ABNA judges and the novel's publishers, but from the eminent reviewers at newspapers and magazines across the country who have been giving it a thumbs' up ever since it was published.
No reserve at all! GOOD LUCK!
