Jacqueline of the Carrier Pigeons (1910)
by Augusta Huiell Seaman, illustrated by George Wharton Edwards
Introduction
→
Blending fact and fiction: The story of the heroism of two young siblings—Jacqueline and her brother Grysbert—during the siege of Leyden. Would the tiny Dutch municipality of Leyden be able to hold out against the mighty Spanish—at least till reinforcements arrived? And how came Jacqueline to be called “Jacqueline of the Carrier Pigeons?”
