In Capitola's Peril we follow the adventures of Capitola, a tomboyish and adventurous young lady living in New York during the mid-1800s.

At the time this sequel was published, Emma Southworth was at the height of her popularity. Particularly appreciated by the American public for her depictions of both rural and urban life, the frequent dramatic twists and turns her characters find themselves in made Southworth's novels popular favorites for decades.

This novel follows Capitola through young adulthood as she grapples with the revelations of the previous instalment. At first thought an orphan of little distinction, it was to the shock of Capitola and her close friends that the circumstances of her birth are revealed as far more distinguished.

Yet despite being confronted by an apparent rescue from the tough urban upbringing in 19th century New York City, there are many more difficulties the young lady must surmount.

Hugely popular in the 19th century, Southworth's novels have since fallen out of favor. At the height of their popularity, Capitola's story was adapted for the theater, with productions staged both in the USA and in London to sellout audiences. This edition brings the full, unabridged story back to audiences, presentably formatted.
