The Maiden's Bookshelf series combines classic short stories of the early 20th century with gorgeous original artwork to create collectible editions for a contemporary audience. Two young siblings left to survive on a deserted island, waiting for the rescue that may never come. They find joy in the wonders of their own personal Eden--until "the demon" shakes their faith and leads them down the path of temptation... Told through a series of letters sealed in bottles and thrown out to sea, Kyusaku Yumeno's classic is just as harrowing and immediate today as when it was first published in 1928. 16+
