Book: Ye Lyttle Salem Maide A Story Of Witchcraft by Pauline Bradford Mackie Hopkins
Ye Lyttle Salem maide, a story of witchcraft (1898), a novel by Pauline Bradford Mackie (1873-?), Lamson, Wolffe and Co., Boston, 1898.PAULINE BRADFORD MACKIE has distinguished herself as a writer of historical fiction, and for this her work is worthy of close consideration. The work of Pauline Bradfo d Mackie does not exhibit the early influences of her literary career as do the creations of some other authors who have passed through a similar period of apprenticeship. For two years after graduation from the Toledo High School, she was engaged in writing for the Toledo Blade, but perhaps with not sufficient seriousness, for, at the time, she was anxious to become an artist, and was almost as busy with the brush and pencil as with the pen.
Perhaps no embryo writer of romance, who eventually has made a rep t tation of worth, had more trying experie ces than fell to her when first she essaye the task of authorship. The old Peterson Magazine published two of her early ven ures, but never paid for them, and the firs story for which she was ever paid appeared. in Worthington's Magazine, which issued only one number subsequent to that in, which her article was published. Her first ong story, " Mademoiselle de Berny," had a conflicting career with the second, " Ye Lyttle Salem Maide," which possesses distinctly humorous side. The first had been refused by a Philadelphia house, but, as they wished a girl's story of considerable length, " Ye Lyttle Salem Maide " was written and sent to them. Again they were dissatisfied, and sent it back with the statement that it was of but forty thousand words in length, and they wished it to be extended to sixty.
