1897113179New York: Harper & Brothers 1897. Octavo original pictorial tan cloth. First edition. A novelette and six short stories by a popular American author who did not find favor with subsequent critics. All have rustic settings though in various parts of the country thus disqualifying the book as regionalistic and dialect writing and most have a light tone but "The Unlived Life of Little Mary Ellen" is about a mad woman who carries a doll about with her believing it to be her baby until she finally comes to believe it has died. The story has some effective touches of weird atmosphere; it is "sad and touching. the most complete piece of work which has as yet come from Mrs. Stuart's pen." - Laurence Hutton in Harper's New Monthly Magazine Vol. 95 Issue 570 Literary Notes p. 2.
