Episodes In Van Bibber's Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162661384)

""Episodes In Van Bibber's Life"" is a collection of short stories by American author Richard Harding Davis, first published in 1899. The book follows the adventures of the titular character, Van Bibber, a young and wealthy socialite living in New York City at the turn of the 20th century. Each story presents a different episode in Van Bibber's life, ranging from his romantic escapades to his encounters with the criminal underworld. Throughout the book, Van Bibber navigates the social and cultural norms of his time, often finding himself in situations that challenge his beliefs and values. With its witty dialogue and vivid descriptions of New York City's high society, ""Episodes In Van Bibber's Life"" is a charming and entertaining glimpse into the world of the privileged class at the turn of the century.It was, as Van Bibber knew, but three minutes to eight o'clock, and have the dog he must and would. The collie sprang first to one side and then to the other, and snarled and snapped; but Van Bibber was keen with the excitement of the chase, so he plunged forward recklessly and tackled the dog around the body, and they both rolled over and over together.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
