Diane Of The Green Van

Diane of the green van

Diane of the Green Van by Leona Dalrymple is a lovely, romantic tale about Diane Westfall, a young farmer in town who meets a man who has crash-landed his airplane in the lake nearby. Excerpt: "Are you aware," inquired the girl, biting her lip, "that you're trespassing?" "Lord, no!" exclaimed the aviator. "You don't mean it. Have you by any chance a reputable rope anywhere about you?" "No," said Diane maliciously, "I haven't. As a rule, I do go about equipped with ropes and hooks and things to—rescue trespassing hydro-aviators, but—" she regarded him thoughtfully. "Do you like to float about and smoke?"

An excellent bestsellers book for individuals who are looking for the best one to read.

Leona Dalrymple (1884 in Passaic, Passaic, NJ 1968 in Stamford, Fairfield, CT) was an early 20th century American author of novels, short stories, and plays. Dalrymple's first publication was a play in 1905; the firm that published it later issued another dozen of her works, mostly written for amateur theatricals. In 1913, Dalrymple won the then very large prize of $10,000 in a literary competition organized by the publisher. The winning entry was her romance novel Diane of the Green Van, published the following year. A second entry in the competition that was highly rated by the judges was also by Dalrymple; though slated for publication under the title The Nomad, it apparently was never issued, or at least not under that title.
