Thomas Bailey Aldrich 
Queen of Sheba & My Cousin the Colonel 

Though best remembered as a poet and as an influential editor at several august publications, including New York Illustrated News and Atlantic Monthly, author Thomas Bailey Aldrich also wrote a number of elegant, understated and witty novels, and later turned to subjects that hewed more closely to the conventions of the action-adventure genre. Fans of intelligent, finely wrought fiction will appreciate this volume that brings together some of Aldrich’s most popular tales.
