Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Barnaby Lee
The raw shores of the New World lay stretched along the gray Atlantic, with the new day lying half awake upon their forested hills.
There had been a sea change in the night and across the low White sand-hills of Long Island the south Wind blew in from the sea with a tune like that of a Shepherd's pipe; and all the little weathercocks on the peaked roofs of New Amsterdam, when they heard that wind in their curly tails, as it hurried over the ridge-poles, turned with a shrill and coppery creaking, and stared, as if with one accord, across the bay.
