The Spirit of the Fair is a book written by Augustus R. Macdonough. It is a historical fiction novel that is set in the 19th century during the World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair. The story revolves around the lives of two young people, Mary and Tom, who come from vastly different backgrounds but are brought together by their love of the fair. Mary is a wealthy socialite who is fascinated by the fair and all of its grandeur. She spends her days exploring the exhibits and attending the various events that are held there. Tom, on the other hand, is a poor laborer who works at the fairgrounds. He is drawn to the fair because of its promise of a better life and a chance to escape his current situation. As Mary and Tom's paths cross, they begin to develop a deep connection that is strengthened by their shared love of the fair. However, their relationship is threatened by the societal norms and expectations of the time, as well as the class differences that separate them. The Spirit of the Fair is a captivating story that offers a glimpse into the world of the Chicago World's Fair and the people who were a part of it. It explores themes of love, class, and societal expectations in a time of great change and progress.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
