Now that he’s turned 21, Lewis Raycie has been sent to travel Europe to form his tastes and fortify his judgments. Lewis’ father packs him off with $5,000 and the instruction to return with art by Raphael. However, while traveling, Lewis becomes entranced with the works of other artists and returns with those instead. ‘False Dawn’ is an intricate and intimate examination of social climbing, social artifice, and the purpose of art. A superb read, peppered with evocative descriptions of the places that our protagonist visits on his Grand Tour. A mix of travel writing and historic fiction, people who like 'Around the World in 80 Days' by Jules Verne, which has recently been reproduced with David Tennant as Phileas Fogg, will enjoy this entertaining read. Edith Wharton (1862 – 1937) was an American designer and novelist. Born in an era when the highest ambition a woman could aspire to was a good marriage, Wharton went on to become one of America’s most celebrated authors. During her career, she wrote over 40 books, using her wealthy upbringing to bring authenticity and detail to stories about the upper classes. She moved to France in 1923, where she continued to write until her death.

HAY, verbena and mignonette scented the languid July day. Large strawberries, crimsoningthrough sprigs of mint, floated in a bowl of pale yellow cup on the verandah table: an oldGeorgian bowl, with complex reflections on polygonal flanks, engraved with the Raycie armsbetween lions' heads. Now and again the gentlemen, warned by a menacing hum, slapped theircheeks, their brows or their bald crowns; but they did so as furtively as possible, for Mr. HalstonRaycie, on whose verandah they sat, would not admit that there were mosquitoes at High Point.The strawberries came from Mr. Raycie's kitchen garden; the Georgian bowl came from hisgreat-grandfather (father of the Signer); the verandah was that of his country-house, which stoodon a height above the Sound, at a convenient driving distance from his town house in CanalStreet."Another glass, Commodore," said Mr. Raycie, shaking out a cambric handkerchief the sizeof a table-cloth, and applying a corner of it to his steaming brow.Mr. Jameson Ledgely smiled and took another glass. He was known as "the Commodore"among his intimates because of having been in the Navy in his youth, and having taken part, as amidshipman under Admiral Porter, in the war of 1812. This jolly sunburnt bachelor, whose faceresembled that of one of the bronze idols he might have brought back with him, had kept hisnaval air, though long retired from the service; and his white duck trousers, his gold-braided capand shining teeth, still made him look as if he might be in command of a frigate. Instead of that, he had just sailed over a party of friends from his own place on the Long Island shore; and histrim white sloop was now lying in the bay below the point

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper class New York "aristocracy" to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Literature, for her novel The Age of Innocence. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Among her other well known works are the The House of Mirth and the novella Ethan Frome. Despite not publishing her first novel until she was forty, Wharton became an extraordinarily productive writer. In addition to her 15 novels, seven novellas, and eighty-five short stories, she published poetry, books on design, travel, literary and cultural criticism, and a memoir.

Tales of Old New York is a collection of four novellas by Edith Wharton, revolving around upper-class New York City society in the 1840s, 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s. The New York of these stories is the same as the New York of The Age of Innocence, from which several fictional characters have spilled over into these stories. The observation of the manners and morals of 19th century New York upper-class society is directly reminiscent of The Age of Innocence, but these novellas are shaped more as character studies. Table of Contents: False Dawn (The Forties) The Old Maid (The Fifties) The Spark (The Sixties) New Year's Day (The Seventies)
