Rigel: An Autumn Mystery is a novel written by Charles Francis Keary and first published in 1903. The story is set in the autumn of 1899 and follows the protagonist, Rigel, a young man who is struggling to find his place in the world. Rigel is a dreamer who spends his days wandering the countryside and pondering the mysteries of life. He is fascinated by the natural world and spends much of his time observing the changing seasons and the creatures that inhabit them.One day, Rigel comes across a strange woman who seems to be lost in the woods. She is disheveled and appears to be in a state of distress. Rigel offers to help her, but she is hesitant to accept his assistance. Despite her reluctance, Rigel persists in his efforts to help her and eventually learns that she is a fugitive from justice. She has been accused of a crime that she did not commit and is on the run from the law.As Rigel becomes more involved in the woman's plight, he finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue and danger. He must use all of his wits and resourcefulness to help the woman clear her name and evade her pursuers. Along the way, Rigel discovers that there is more to life than just daydreaming and that he has a greater purpose in the world.Rigel: An Autumn Mystery is a beautifully written and evocative novel that captures the spirit of the turn of the century. It is a story of adventure, romance, and self-discovery that will appeal to readers of all ages. Keary's vivid descriptions of the natural world and his insightful portrayal of the human condition make this a timeless classic that is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
