E. Nesbit

John Charrington's Wedding by E. Nesbit is offered here in a clean English digital edition prepared for fluent ebook reading. The work stands within classics and gives modern readers direct access to a public-domain classic with navigable structure and a restrained typographic presentation. The opening pages establish the book's atmosphere with this first movement: No one ever thought that May Forster would marry John Charrington; but he thought differently, and things which John Charrington intended had a queer way of coming to pass.
He asked her to marry him before he went up to Oxford. She laughed and refused him. He asked her again next time he came home. This edition is suited to readers who want a reliable, uncluttered version of the text for study, rediscovery, and sustained reading.
