The Queen of Sheba & My Cousin the Colonel

Set in June 1872, the story follows Edward Lynde, an assistant cashier at the Nautilus Bank, who seizes a rare opportunity for a three-week horseback excursion in the picturesque northern New Hampshire. This journey, motivated by a desire for adventure rather than any illicit intent, allows him to escape the constraints of his job and immerse himself in the beauty of nature, as the landscape transforms from winter's grasp to a vibrant summer bloom. The narrative explores themes of freedom and the allure of the natural world.
