''The Tides of Barnegat is a romance spanning a twenty year period from 1854 until 1874, with a highly melodramatic final chapter involving the newly organized U.S. Life-Saving Service in a tragic ship wreck... This scene of high drama comes as the resolution of a tightly constructed novel by a remarkable man.'' — from the Introduction by John Bailey Lloyd.

 Out of print for more than half a century, the text and original illustrations are carefully reproduced here in a lovely reprint of this classic 1906 seashore novel by F. Hopkinson Smith. In a Victorian style capturing the gentle ebbing and the fierce moods of the ocean and personalities of the people living along its shores, Smith's novel is a rich portrait of its era along the coast.

It ''makes you yearn for the time when things such as honor and duty and responsibility and commitment were actually taken seriously,'' said one reviewer.

The novel follows two sisters, Jane and Lucy Cobden. Jane, the older by ten years, had vowed alongside her father's deathbed to raise and protect Lucy. When Lucy returns from boarding school in Philadelphia, Jane gives her younger sister all she desires with a caring hand, but does not find in Lucy the same forthright and dutiful character that she possesses. Misled by her love, Jane protects Lucy at the expense of her own life's happiness and a marriage to a man who loves her.

The fictional setting uses many landmarks and locations that suggest Barnegat Light and the mainland adjacent to Long Beach Island N.J., although Smith has altered the landscape to benefit the narrative.

An added introduction by Long Beach Island historian John Bailey Lloyd explains some of the peculiarities of the novel, as well as keying the reader in to what is below the surface of all the strident virtue — strength commingled with human weakness. Mr. Lloyd provides a fascinating look at the author, a remarkable man who was a marine engineer, builder of lighthouses, writer, and fine artist.

This is a complete quality reprinting of the original book, not a print-on-demand facsimile edition, including the 12 original illustrations by George Wright. The softcover edition cover features a commissioned original oil painting by Jersey Shore artist Marilyn Ganss.

No chew resistant for heavy chewers.
Not durable for a heavy chewer. I went by the reviews which said they lasted and were chew resistant. Ha! Not so with my Brittany Spaniel. She chewed this apart within hours!

indestructible!
these are so cute, squeak but my puppy who chews everything from rocks to shells was unable to tear these toys to shreds or even bite it into pieces. she actually gave up and grew bored with them which has never happened with any other toy or item she fixates on and eventually destroys.

Great!
Surprisingly tough. Holds up to tug and doesn't rip right away like so many soft toys do. Has crinkle legs and squeaky head. Dog is having so much fun

Great quality and flavor
Color: 3PC-Bacon-Brown, Pattern Name: Tough Dog Toys
I have two dogs that can chew through everything within a day. Not these, going on four days now, there are signs of wear and tear but still intact. The dogs love the flavor.
