The Wishing Ring Man is a novel written by Margaret Widdemer. The story revolves around a man named Alec who is a traveling salesman. He sells wishing rings to people, claiming that they have magical powers to grant wishes. Alec is a charming and persuasive salesman who manages to sell his rings to people from all walks of life.One day, Alec comes across a young woman named Sylvia who is struggling to make ends meet. Sylvia is a talented artist who dreams of becoming successful but lacks the resources to do so. Alec sees potential in Sylvia and offers her a wishing ring on credit, hoping that it will help her achieve her dreams.As Alec continues to travel and sell his rings, he meets various people who have different wishes and desires. Some of them use the rings to fulfill their dreams, while others realize that their wishes come with a price. Alec himself begins to question the true power of the rings and whether they are worth the cost.Throughout the novel, the themes of love, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness are explored. The Wishing Ring Man is a heartwarming story about the power of hope and the importance of chasing one’s dreams.She felt suddenly little and frightened and helpless. The current of mischief and merriment dropped away from her for a minute, here where everything, from the class picture on the wall to the pipe on the bureau, spoke so of John--of what everything about him meant to her--about what going away from him would mean. She flung herself on her knees beside the narrow iron cot in the corner, her arms out over the pillow where his head rested.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
