320P: Seeking Info On Book – Title Ends In “Ree”

Looking for information on the book in this picture.  The only letters that are visible to me are possibly the last letters “KIREE,” but definitely “REE.”  Initially I considered “DESIREE,” but it doesn’t look like an S before the I, if indeed that is an I.

    It looks to me like “The something of something-ending-in-ckiree”. I think the last word is a place name, and the missing word might be “rose” because of the roses on the cover. It’s just a guess because I can’t actually see the word rose, but it seems reasonable. I think it’s “The Rose of something-ending-in-ckiree.”

    If it helps at all, the image this came from is used as a cover image for the song “Movement” by Hozier, who is an Irish musician. There are now a couple of higher resolution images of it out there, and the “i” is actually an “a”. It’s definitely THE (blank) OF (blank)KAREE. I think it may be The Gold of Chickaree by Anna Barlett Warner. I haven’t found an image of that exact cover yet, but the letters fit and it was written and first published in the 1800s

    I think I said Anna Barlett. It’s actually Anna Barlettt Warner (and it’s sometimes listed with Susan Warner as a coauthor).
