Stowe, Cynthia M.

Living in Nantucket in the 1820s, Arthur Cooper was a real escaped slave who was pursued by slave catchers. Stowe's novel focuses on the fictional ten-year-old Phebe Folger, who befriends Arthur and his wife, Mary, who works for the Folgers. With this rich historical background, it's a shame the story of the real Coopers wasn't developed more.
