Description
Archibald Bennett is the willing errand-runner of his sister's household in Meredith Nicholson's novel Blacksheep! Blacksheep!, published in 1920. Mrs. Howard Featherstone spends much time thinking up jobs for her brother Archie. Her busy husband declines them all, but Archie has endless time and patience, and enjoys the work. The title comes from a verse by Richard Burton about outcasts sick for the homely fold.
Leslie L. Benson's pictures include a fugitive stopping at the crack of a gun. Nicholson mixes family comedy with flight and pursuit as the tale runs on. The blacksheep theme hangs over it: who is truly outside the fold, and who put him there? It is a light, quick novel of American manners.
