Capitola The Madcap is a classic novel by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth, first published in 1871. The story is set in the mid-19th century and follows the adventures of a young girl named Capitola Black, who is known for her wild and impulsive behavior. Capitola is orphaned at a young age and grows up in poverty, but she is determined to make something of herself. She is taken in by a wealthy woman named Mrs. Condiment, who provides her with a home and an education. Capitola is grateful for Mrs. Condiment's kindness, but she chafes under the strict rules of her new life. Capitola's life takes a dramatic turn when she meets a handsome and mysterious stranger named George Littlefield. Littlefield is a master of disguise and has a reputation for being a thief and a con artist. Capitola is initially wary of Littlefield, but she is also drawn to his charm and his adventurous spirit. As Capitola and Littlefield become friends, they embark on a series of daring escapades, including breaking into a haunted house and foiling a plot to rob a bank. Along the way, Capitola discovers that Littlefield has a tragic past and is being pursued by a vengeful enemy. Capitola The Madcap is a thrilling and entertaining novel that combines elements of romance, adventure, and suspense. It is a vivid portrait of a young woman who refuses to be bound by convention and who is willing to take risks in order to achieve her goals.The Old Hidden House, with its mysterious traditions, its gloomy surroundings and its haunted reputation, had always possessed a powerful attraction for one of Cap's adventurous spirit. To seek and gaze upon the somber house, of which, and of whose inmates, such terrible stories had been told or hinted, had always been a secret desire and purpose of Capitola.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
