The Plays of Philip Massinger V3: With Notes Critical and Explanatory (1805)

A Home by the Sea is a fictional depiction of the descendants of a real African warrior king who reigned during the 19th century. A European heiress found an infant and returned home with the baby. Lovingly, she named the infant and decided to adopt and raise him as her son. Her father ordered her to leave his home. She settled in another European city where she learned that her life and the life of the infant were in danger. Needing to protect herself and the boy, she moved from country to country. Their lives grew and developed in each new country, but nothing broke their love. This is a coming-of-age story of a boy and the unconditional love of a mother. Although each home was in a different country, they were all located by the sea.
