The Three Black Pennys is a novel written by Joseph Hergesheimer, first published in 1917. The story is set in rural Virginia during the early 20th century and follows the lives of three siblings - Randon, Telfair, and Sophia - who come from a wealthy family. The siblings are deeply connected to their land and their family history, but their idyllic lives are disrupted when a new neighbor, a wealthy businessman named John Mayrant, moves into the area.Mayrant becomes enamored with Sophia and begins to court her, but their relationship is complicated by the fact that Mayrant is a Northerner and the siblings are staunch supporters of the Confederacy. As tensions rise between the two families, the siblings must confront their own prejudices and the changing world around them.The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of Virginia's landscape and its exploration of the themes of love, family, and identity. Hergesheimer's writing style is lyrical and poetic, and he captures the nuances of Southern culture with great sensitivity.Overall, The Three Black Pennys is a classic novel of the American South that offers a glimpse into a world that is both familiar and foreign to modern readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
