Thomas Mayne Reid's novel of love and adventure set in the American South, "The Quadroon," grips the reader from the very first page.

While traveling in Louisiana, a young Englishman named Edward falls in love with an exceptionally beautiful and intelligent girl, Aurora. To his delight, the feeling is mutual, but a serious obstacle stands between the young people: Edward's beloved is a slave. Aurora is a quadroon, meaning she is a quarter black, but even if she had only a drop of black blood, the laws and morals of Louisiana make her union with a white man impossible. Yet Edward refuses to give up his happiness with his beloved—he's even willing to break the law for her sake... Little does the young man suspect that his determination is not to everyone's liking. He will face the treachery and cruelty of his enemies and will repeatedly look death in the face. However, friendship and selfless love will overcome all obstacles...
The book is illustrated with drawings by Sergei Yarov.
