"The man who invented the immortal and unsolvable problem of 'The Lady or the Tiger?' and wrote the thrilling dubious account of 'The Wreck of the 'Thomas Hyde,'' deserves to have his fame perpetuated in as many forms as a sympathetic public will encourage the grateful publishers to devise. The reappearance of Nine of the best of his short yarns in this pleasing edition is, therefore, most appropriate. We say 'of the best,' but it is difficult to discriminate between Stockton's stories, long or short. He rarely if ever fails to hit the mark, and with the most trifling subjects, he produces literature. His workmanship is of uniform excellence, his fancy always seems ready for flight." -The Book News Monthly Less
