Cousin Deborah�������s Story: Or The Great Plague is a historical novel written by Lucy Ellen Guernsey and first published in 1869. The story is set in London during the 17th century, when the city was hit by a devastating outbreak of the bubonic plague. The protagonist of the story is a young girl named Deborah, who lives with her family in a small village outside of London. When the plague reaches their village, Deborah�������s family is forced to flee to the city in search of safety. In London, they encounter a world of chaos and despair as the plague ravages the city and its inhabitants. Through Deborah�������s eyes, the reader witnesses the horrors of the epidemic and the social and economic upheaval it causes. Along the way, Deborah meets a cast of characters, including a wealthy merchant, a group of street urchins, and a kind-hearted doctor, who help her navigate the challenges of life in a plague-ridden city. Despite the grim subject matter, Cousin Deborah�������s Story is ultimately a tale of resilience and hope, as Deborah and her family find a way to survive and rebuild their lives in the aftermath of the plague. The book offers a vivid and historically accurate portrayal of life in 17th-century London and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine, public health, or urban life in early modern Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
