You decide what the characters do--and who they end up with--in this interactive 1930s romantic time capsule that paved the way for Choose Your Own Adventure! 43 HAPPILY (N)EVER AFTERS: Play as a party game, or read on your own, as you navigate the lives of a spunky heroine, a charming rake, and a dependable and devoted (but dull?) suitor The course of life--and true love--never did run smooth, but now you have only yourself to blame. No more throwing books across the room in frustration at the naïve, hasty, or downright dumb decisions made by the protagonist--this time you're in charge! In the first pages of this groundbreaking historical romance, written by two brilliant women (and anticipating the Choose Your Own Adventure format that allows for multiple rereads and a new adventure every time), we meet Helen--young, beautiful, excited about exploring the big, wide world--and the 2 men who love her. Jed Harringdale is wealthy and adored by all, but seems determined not to work a day in his life, and has already been engaged. . . twice! The hardworking Saunders Mead thinks the world of Helen and would surely treat her kindly, but is as dull as he is dependable. Which suitor will Helen choose? Or perhaps she'll choose neither? It's all up to you! And it's only the 1st decision you'll make in this surprisingly realistic and progressive book written almost 100 years ago. After deciding Helen's fate, readers also get to navigate through the dilemmas and crises facing Jed and Saunders to each of their different endings!

Doris Webster (1885-1967) and Mary Alden Hopkins (1876-1960) co-authored a series of pioneering party books throughout the 1920s and 30s. Alongside her writing work, Doris was a director of the Rider Press, while Mary was a journalist and activist who campaigned for women's suffrage in the United States. Together they wrote Consider the Consequences, which in 1930 became the world's first-ever interactive gamebook.
