Red Pepper Burns (Illustrated)

by Grace S. Richmond

Overview

Redfield Pepper Burns, M.D., has flaming red hair and all of the temper and vivacity said to go with it. The small-town physician and surgeon maintains a grueling schedule, racing with his nurse from call to call in a powerful touring car, the Green Imp. He must contend with epidemics, professional jealousies, stubborn or deadbeat patients, and a lack of sophisticated surgical instruments. In this first volume of "Red Pepper" Burns stories, the doctor saves a friend from morphine addiction, takes in a young orphan, suffers an accident that may cripple his scalpel hand, and finally looks up from his work long enough to notice one of his many female admirers (http://bit.ly/317UCQD).

About the Author

Grace Louise Smith Richmond (1866–1959), American romance novelist created the Dr. R.P. Burns series. Her first short stories were published in various women's magazines including the Women's Home Companion, Ladies' Home Journal, and Everybody's Magazine as early as 1898. Richmond wrote 27 novels between 1905 and 1936. Red Pepper Burns was published in 1910. Like most of her strong-willed yet compassionate characters, R.P. Burns is a kind, old-souled country doctor who makes house calls. His fiery red hair and temper to match earned him his nickname Red Pepper, though he is still a charming and endearing gentleman. Mrs. Red Pepper (1913), Red Pepper's Patients (1917), and Red of the Redfields (1924) followed.
