About this audiobook
Aldrich attended school in Portsmouth to prepare for college. This period of his life is partly described in his semi-autobiographical novel [i]The Story of a Bad Boy[/i] (1870), in which "Tom Bailey" is the juvenile hero. Critics have said that this novel contains the first realistic depiction of childhood in American fiction and prepared the ground for [i]Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.[/i]
Nocturne was taken from the Yale Book of American Verse, edited by Thomas R. Lounsbury (1838 - 1915)(Summary from Wikipedia)
