""A Crystal Age"" is a thought-provoking novel that explores themes of environmentalism, spirituality, and the human condition.The colour of their dresses varied, but in most cases different shades of blue and subdued yellow predominated. In all, the stockings showed deeper and richer shades of colour than the other garments; and in their curiously segmented appearance, and in the harmonious arrangement of the tints, they seemed to represent the skins of pythons and other beautifully variegated serpents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
