Aldrich (1836-1907, born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire) was an American
writer, poet and editor. He left home at the death of his father in 1849, at the
age of 13, to work as a clerk in his uncle's New York business. Once in New
York, he contributed to a number of newspapers and magazines. After publishing
his first book of poems The Bells in 1855, Aldrich became junior literary
critic for the New York Evening Mirror and then subeditor of Home
Journal before editing The Atlantic Monthly from 1881 to 1890. His
books of poems include Cloth of Gold (1874), Flower and Thorn
(1877), Mercedes and Later Lyrics (1877) and Windham Towers
(1890). Aldrich also wrote several novels, but is best known for this short
story collection Marjorie Dew and Other People (1873) and his
semi-autobiographical The Story of a Bad Boy (1870). Lightly toned.
Card is lightened and creased near top edge from mounting. Adhesive remnants on
