Beskrivelse af The Village Watch Tower
The Village Watch Tower by Kate Douglas Wiggin is a novel set in the small village of North Denby in England. The story revolves around a group of villagers who come together to build a watch tower to keep an eye on the sea and prevent smugglers from landing on their shores. The tower is built with the help of the village blacksmith, John Sands, and the local squire, Sir John. However, the project faces many obstacles, including financial difficulties, disagreements among the villagers, and a series of mysterious events that threaten to sabotage their efforts.The main character of the novel is Mary Ware, a young woman who has recently moved to North Denby with her aunt. Mary is intelligent, resourceful, and determined to help the village build the watch tower. She becomes involved in the project and works tirelessly to raise funds, recruit volunteers, and overcome the various challenges that arise.The novel explores themes of community, cooperation, and perseverance. It also touches on issues of class and social hierarchy, as the villagers navigate their relationships with the wealthy landowners and struggle to assert their own interests and values.Overall, The Village Watch Tower is a charming and engaging novel that offers a vivid portrait of life in a small English village in the 19th century. It is filled with colorful characters, witty dialogue, and a compelling storyline that keeps the reader engaged until the very end.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
