The Percys is a novel written by Elizabeth Prentiss in 1870. The story revolves around the Percy family, who are a wealthy and respected family in their community. The head of the family, Mr. Percy, is a successful businessman who is highly regarded for his integrity and kindness. Mrs. Percy is a loving and devoted wife and mother, who is admired for her beauty and grace. The Percys have two children, a son named Harry and a daughter named Edith. The novel follows the lives of the Percy family as they navigate the challenges and joys of their privileged existence. The story explores themes of family, love, and duty, as well as the struggles that come with wealth and status. The Percys must confront their own flaws and shortcomings, as well as the envy and jealousy of those around them. Throughout the novel, Prentiss weaves together a compelling narrative that is both insightful and engaging. The characters are well-drawn and complex, and the story is filled with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged until the very end. The Percys is a classic work of American literature that offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and privileged in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
