Cynthia's Chauffeur by Louis Tracy

When Cynthia, a spirited American heiress, finds herself in need of a chauffeur, the capable young man she hires turns out to be far more than he seems. First published in 1912, Louis Tracy's Cynthia's Chauffeur is a delightful romance of the early motoring age — a world of open-touring motorcars, country lanes, mistaken identities, and courtly charm, told with the brisk plotting and warm humor that made Tracy one of the most popular storytellers of his day. This edition presents the complete, unabridged original text, carefully proofed and introduced for today's readers, with reader's notes illuminating the Edwardian setting, the dawn of automobiling, and Tracy's place in popular fiction. Equal parts love story, light adventure, and period time capsule, it is a book to savor slowly, ideally with a pot of tea at hand. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
