Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Village Pest: A Story of David
The facts upon which this little tale have been built are substantially as related. So far as is known, the juvenile characters mentioned are alive at this time. The old homestead, on the southern isle, is outwardly much the same as when David visited it; the half-mile semicircle of negro quar ters, built of oyster shells although crumbling with age with the unequaled avenues of pal metto, live oak, or cedar, radiating from it, and many other unusual attractions, continue to mark it as one of the most beautiful and picturesque examples of plantation days still extant.
