Mystery! Adventure! Romance! The outcast inventor of a flying apparatus. A courageous woman searching for her lost father, a famous explorer. A murderous pirate who lusts after fabulous treasure ... and the explorer's daughter. When a storm leaves these three stranded in an uncharted Arctic wilderness for six long, dark winter months, who will survive - and how?

A century ago, Henry Kitchell Webster (1875-1932) was a well-known, well-paid, and well-respected author. His stories frequently appeared in major magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post. In 1921, the New York Times printed his thoughts on "What Is a Novel, Anyhow?" But why should we bother with his novels, short stories, and plays today? Because his characters are charming and intelligent. They pursue their goals in intriguing ways. The situations are unusual: this volume includes several set in the theater and in the business world. The endings are unpredictable, except in the sense that they are upbeat and satisfying. Webster's works hold their appeal because of that upbeat sense of life. If you enjoy the sculpture of Augustus Saint Gaudens or the paintings of Maxfield Parrish (both of whose lives overlap with Webster's), you'll probably find delight in Webster's works as well. Volume 2 of Webster's Collected Works, covering 1913-1914, includes twenty short stories, one play (previously unpublished), thirty-six letters (all previously unpublished), and a short biography of Webster.

Webster, a popular author of the early 20th century, wrote short stories and novels with intriguing characters pursuing goals in unusual ways, sometimes in the business world.
