Romance, Melodrama, Murder, Mayhem—The Novelist in Not-So-Fictional St. Paul

Author: Frances Sontag

As a setting for fiction, St. Paul still trails London, New York, Paris, and perhaps a few other cities. Novels set here include Maud Hart Lovelace’s Early Candlelight; Colonel C. Hankins’s Dakota Land, or The Beauty of St. Paul; and Grace Flandrau’s Cousin Julia. There have also been some obscure books set in St. Paul, and the author takes us through them. The authors include Mabel Seely, Norman Katkov, Steve Thayer, and a few more.
