    About this ebook

    Miss Irene by Joel Chandler Harris is about the budding and scandalous relationship between Miss Irene and Colonel Blasengame. Excerpt: "Late in the seventies – or, it may have been the first year of the eighties – when Colonel Bolivar Blasengame (so named after the great South American liberator) was working up a "boom" in real estate in and around Halcyondale in middle Georgia, the visitors who responded to his ingeniously worded and highly colored invitations invariably paused (on their way from the depot to the hotel) to admire a fine old house that sat far back from the red and dusty thoroughfare."
