The New York Times bestselling author of The Little Book, Selden Edwards will be at Warwick's on Friday, August 24th at 7:00pm to discuss and sign his new novel The Lost Prince. Reserved seating is available for this event, please call the Warwick's book dept. at (858) 454-0347 for more information.

The author of the beloved New York Times bestselling novel The Little Book returns with a sequel about a love that is capable of bridging unfathomable distances.

Recently returned from the experience of a lifetime in fin de siecle Vienna, where she met and tragically lost the first great love of her life, Eleanor Burden has no choice but to settle into her expected place in society, marry the man she is supposed to marry, and wait for life to come to her. As the twentieth century approaches, hers is a story not unlike that of the other young women she grew up with in 1890s Boston--a privileged upbringing punctuated by a period of youthful adventure and followed by the inevitable acknowledgment of real life--except for one small difference: Eleanor possesses an unshakable belief that she has advance knowledge of every major historical event to come during her lifetime.

But soon the script of events she has written in her mind--a script described by no less than Sigmund Freud as the invented delusions of a hysteric--begins to unravel. Eleanor Burden, at once fragile and powerful, must find the courage of her deepest convictions, discover the difference between predetermination and free will, secure her belief in her own sanity, and decide whether she will allow history to unfold come what may--or use her extraordinary gifts to bend history to her will and deliver for her the life she knows she is meant to have.

Princeton and Stanford graduate Selden Edwards spent the early part of his career as an English teacher. During this time he began writing as a hobby, and in 1974 began working on a story he would eventually call The little book. As Selden’s career in education grew, he worked as headmaster at several independent schools across the country, all the time still refining his novel, sending it off to publishers and persevering through the rejection letters. In 2008, The little book became a New York Times best seller as well as a Ladies, Lunch, and Literacy pick. In The Lost Prince, the sequel to The little book, Weezie Putnam returns from fin-de-siècle Vienna with a new name, Eleanor Burden, and a journal she believes contains her destined path.
