Be the first to write a review.

Although little kwn today, this story was once widely regarded as a classic of American literature. First published in 1682, it has seen over forty editions in the past three centuries, and it marked the beginning of a very popular and uniquely American form of literature, the so-called captivity narrative, which was the predecessor of the American western vel. This book also holds a prominent place in women's literature since it is the first full length prose work published in America written by a woman. .
