Nautilus

Originally published in 1895, Nautilus is one of Laura E. Richards’s most beloved stories. This edition, with illustrations by W.L. Taylor, has been designed for readability for children and adults alike. Nautilus, as well as many other Laura E Richards books, are available in matched editions on my Lulu page. “Nautilus is by far the best product of the author’s powers, and is certain to achieve the wide success it so richly merits. Without exaggeration it is to be pronounced a literary gem.” —The Boston Courier. Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards was born in Boston in 1850. She wrote more than 90 books in her lifetime. The Boston Post once said of her work: “Mrs. Richards has made for herself a little niche apart in the literary world, from her delicate treatment of New England village life.”
