1894113181New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers 1894. Octavo original decorated red cloth front and spine panels stamped in black and gold. First edition. A novella six short stories and three poems 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 spelling. The stories in this collection tend towards the heavy and melodramatic in tone. The author's second collection; the first edition is scarce. "Several of these tales show a little effort a little lack of truth. Possibly the reason is not far to seek. For the most part these are not stories of Negro life with the humor and pathos of which Mrs. Stuart is so intimately familiar. Of such tales however there is one and a very charming one - 'Duke's Christmas.' It seems to come like the narrative of Miss Murfree for instance of Miss Wilkins or Miss Jewett of a disposition to find a soul of good in things ugly if not evil ; and of a conviction that the more or less uncouth characters of which these stories tell are abundantly worth knowing. Such a disposition and conviction are natural in the art of a democratic age." - William Dean Howells in The Atlantic Monthly Nov. 1894 p. 706. Wright III 5303.
