The Story Of Clifford House (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162709277)

The Story of Clifford House is a book written by an anonymous author that tells the tale of a grand old house and the people who lived there throughout the years. The story begins in the late 1800s when the house was built by a wealthy family and follows the lives of its occupants through the turn of the century and into the early 1900s.The book is divided into chapters that each focus on a different period in the house's history and the people who called it home. The first chapter introduces the reader to the original owners of the house, a family of bankers who spared no expense in building their dream home. The subsequent chapters follow the lives of the family's children and grandchildren as they grow up, marry, and start families of their own.Throughout the book, the house itself is almost a character in its own right, as it undergoes numerous renovations and changes over the years. The author describes the house in great detail, from its impressive architecture to its beautiful gardens, and it becomes clear that the house is as much a part of the story as the people who live there.As the story progresses, the reader is introduced to a wide range of characters, from the wealthy and privileged to the working-class servants who keep the house running. The author does an excellent job of bringing these characters to life, and the reader becomes invested in their stories and their relationships with one another.Overall, The Story of Clifford House is a beautifully written and engaging book that will appeal to anyone who loves historical fiction or stories about grand old houses and the people who inhabit them.What is the matter?' I said--'George, dear, what is the matter?' For his face had grown quite white, and with his back against the wall, he was staring about him wildly 'I don't know--Helen--something'--he ejaculated in a low tone; then recovering himself, with a laugh, he cried--'I struck myself against the door, I suppose! I declare one would think I was composed of old china, or wax, or sugar candy, it hurt and stunned me so! Come, dearest.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
