Felix Moses, the Beloved Jew of Stringtown on the Pike (Hardcover)

1930. From the author of Etidorhpa. Pages from the life experiences of a unique character, a man whose romantic record challenges imagination. Stringtown in folklore is Florence in fact. It is a hamlet in Boone County, Kentucky, on the ridge that lies between the Licking and Kentucky Rivers. The unique thing about Stringtown is that there are people living there who remember the originals from whom Mr. Lloyd has drawn his characters. The inhabitants have taken a vast pride in this book, and the best tribute to the author was when he heard the praises of the admiring townspeople. This is a story of real life, knitted with the strong threads of actual occurrences.
