By MARY E. WILKINS.
A NEW ENGLAND NUN, And Other Stories. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25.
Always there is a freedom from commonplace, and a power to hold the
interest to the close, which is owing, not to a trivial ingenuity,
but to the spell which her personages cast over the reader's mind
as soon as they come within his ken.... The humor, which is a
marked feature of Miss Wilkins's stories, is of a pungent
sort.--_Atlantic Monthly_.
What can we say that will express our sense of the beauty of "A New
England Nun, and Other Stories"? So true in their insight into
human nature, so brief and salient in construction, so deep in
feeling, so choice in expression, these stories rank even with the
works of Mrs. Stowe and Miss Jewett--_Critic_, N. Y.
The unerring skill, the faultless delicacy, and the almost touching
fidelity with which these little stories are told cannot be too
highly commended.--_Epoch_, N. Y.
A HUMBLE ROMANCE, And Other Stories. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25.
Only an artistic hand could have written these stories, and they
will make delightful reading.--_Evangelist_, N. Y.
The author has the unusual gift of writing a short story which is
complete in itself, having a real beginning, a middle, and an end.
The volume is an excellent one.--_Observer_, N.
