Item Description...
1900. Johnston, an American novelist, wrote books that combine romance with history. She is chiefly remembered for To Have and to Hold, a story of colonial Virginia, and its successor, Audrey. The book begins: The work of the day being over, I sat down upon my doorstep, pipe in hand, to rest awhile in the cool of the evening. Death is not more still than is this Virginian land in the hour when the sun has sunk away, and it is black beneath the trees, and the stars brighten slowly and softly, one by one. The birds that sing all day have hushed, and the horned owls, the monster frogs, and that strange ominous fowl (if fowl it be, and not, as some assert, a spirit damned) which we English call the whippoorwill, are yet silent. Later the wolf will howl and the panther scream, but now there is no sound. The winds are laid, and the restless leaves droop and are quiet. The low lap of the water among the reeds is like the breathing of one who sleeps in his watch beside the dead. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

 | Still In My Heart Jan 27, 2007 |
| I read this book in High School. Its still in my heart, I have never forgotten it. I'm now 60 years old. | | | | To Have and To Hold by Mary Johnston, 1901 Dec 12, 2006 |
| My parents read this story to my brother and me when we were 6 & 8. It starts out slowly but gets really good, really fast. It has Indians, pirates, swordfights, one of the best (worst) villains ever (& his evil cohort), betrayal, sacrifice, true love and ventriloquism. We LOVED the story then and, as adults, came to appreciate it on new levels. Same goes for my son, now grown up, to whom I gave the same privilege of great story-telling as a kid. There's a 1947(?) movie based on the book but the book itself, of course, can tell more of the story with the very best illustrations - those from your own imagination. | | | | Great book! Very timely! Nov 30, 2006 |
| I have read this book at least twice now and have enjoyed it both times! The storyline will keep you engaged and eagerly turning the pages until the very end so beware! Don't start this book if you only have a half hour to read! You won't want to put it down! Also a great, historically accurate picture of life in colonial Jamestown. Just in time for Jamestown's 400th anniversary. | | | Write your own review about To Have and to Hold
