Excerpts from: The Adventures of Allegra Fullerton, University of New England Press. In Victorian America (mid 1800?s), New England was host to many artists who worked as itinerant portrait painters. Bob Begiebing researched the lives of the few women in the field and created a composite character for his novel The Adventures of Allegra Fullerton. This is the second in an on-going trilogy of New England historical fiction, which began with The Strange Death of Mistress Coffin. Each novel in the collection covers a different century of American History. Bob lives in Newfields, New Hampshire and teaches at New Hampshire College.
