Book Description
Excerpt from The Foot of the Rainbow The curtain rises on a portion of a small farm. To right, part of a corn-field is visible. The tall stalks are bent and broken and dripping as though swept by wind and rain. Adjoining the corn, a field of tall hay, lying almost flat, stretches to the back of the stage and into the scenery. In the distance, back, and reaching across stage, is seen a chain of bare and desolate looking hills, one rising very much higher than the others. A meadow covers the front of the stage and rises gradually to a grassy knoll, back left, on which stands a tall, broad-limbed oak tree. Water standing here and there on the uneven ground; the ruined fields, bits of broken lumber lying about, denote the devastating work of a recent storm. Clouds hang heavy and dark, and distant thunder is heard. Soon the clouds break and roll away, the sky becomes clear, and bright sunlight floods the scene. Birds begin to twitter in the oak, and one is seen to fly across the meadow to the corn-field. [A woman enters, left front, stops suddenly and looks long at the ruined fields. She is young and slight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
