"The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper (Papermill Press Classics)

This edition of James Fenimore Cooper's classic novel features a suede-like custom cover with beautiful metallic foiling and a ribbon marker.

A riveting novel of love and warfare, this action-packed adventure is sure to capture readers of all ages. The best-known of Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, the novel follows the lives of Natty Bumpo (Hawkeye) and his two companions, Uncas, and his father, Chingachgook, who are the last of the Mohican tribe. A forbidden romance develops between Uncas, and Cora, the daughter of a British Colonel who is captured along with her sister, Alice, by the renegade Magua. (The film adaptation changed this part of the story and had Cora falling in love with Hawkeye, while Uncas falls for Alice.)

A time-honored favorite in historical fiction that serves as a cultural conversation about interracial love and friendship.
