Pomona's Travels
A Series of Letters to the Mistress of Rudder Grange from her Former Handmaiden
Produced by Suzanne Shell, Asad Razzaki and PG Distributed Proofreaders
"Pomona's Travels" by Frank R. Stockton is a series of humorous letters written in the late 19th century that explores the cultural contrasts between America and England through the eyes of its protagonist, Pomona. The narrative follows Pomona, previously a handmaiden in the family featured in Stockton's "Rudder Grange," as she embarks on a journey with her husband, Jonas, to England and Scotland. This series of letters tells of their travels, experiences, and observations as they navigate the peculiarities of their new surroundings while seeking a deeper understanding of life and society. At the start of "Pomona's Travels," we are introduced to Pomona and Jonas, who have transitioned from their previous lives into independent circumstances after inheriting property. As they settle into London, Pomona's keen observations about the behaviors and customs of the English people and their contrasts to American ways set the stage for their explorations. The opening chapters recount their plans for travel, their attempts to secure lodgings, and the initial comical misunderstandings they encounter as they rise through the social ranks. With Pomona's expressive and often humorous voice, readers are drawn into her thoughts on everything from social status to English customs, all of which are steeped in her unique charm and wit.
