Trade-quality publishing services for independent authors and a curated line of Forgotten Classics — crafted with the care that enduring books deserve.
Scarlet Sails (A Feerie)
In the forgotten coastal village of Caperna, a small girl named Assol is told by a wandering storyteller that one day a great ship with scarlet sails will come into the bay to carry her away. The villagers mock her for it. The years pass. She grows into a strange, dreaming young woman — and somewhere out on the open sea, a young captain named Arthur Gray hears of her dream and quietly decides to make it come true.
First published in 1923, Grin's Scarlet Sails is one of the most cherished works in modern Russian literature. This Squire Press edition presents a fresh English translation by Lev Lesov, restoring the cadence and lyricism of Grin's original prose for a new generation of readers.
