The Descent of Reginald Hampton (Victorian Story)

Aeronaut Reginald Hampton's balloon is out of control and descending towards disaster - or matrimony! Can Reginald keep his wits about him while stuck up the Colonel's pear tree? At what of his host's lovely daughter? A charming Victorian tale of cleverness and manners.

Originally published in 1899, this tale of the Gilded Age comes to us from the mind of Halliwell Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe was a popular novelist at the turn of the 20th century and he produced many historical romances about the House of Stewart and the Yorkshire countryside..
