The term 'Kind of Novel' can refer to three different types of novels: DIME, SAGA, and ROMANCE. A DIME novel is a type of popular fiction that was published in the late 19th century and early 20th century. It was usually a short story or serialized novel that was sold for a DIME. A SAGA is a long narrative that follows the fortunes of a family or group of people over a period of time. Finally, a ROMANCE novel is a genre of fiction that focuses on romantic relationships between two people.
