This selection of the admirable, but little- known stories by Sarah Orne Jewett, whose picture of New England life in The Country of the Pointed Firs has proved to be one of the most enduring American books of its time, has been made by that most discriminating critic, Mr. Edward Garnett.

There are several of these thirteen stories which deserve to take their place with the very best of their kind and time, and not one that will not give a particular pleasure to the reader who prefers sensitiveness to bluntness, quietness to emphasis, beauty to crudity. In a word, they hold in themselves the lasting and living quality of real literature. With an introduction by Rebecca West Less
