Reproduction of the original.

Pearl-Maiden explores the story of Miriam, who was born just after the first persecution of the Christians soon after the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Although her parents didn't survive, she became a Christian and an observer of the fall of Jerusalem to Rome. The story's characters are excellently developed, and the twists and turns add to its charms.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
