The characters are chosen, for the most part, among plain people, because their feelings are expressed with fewer words and greater truth, not being costumed for social effect. The scene is laid on Nature's stage because I like to be out-of-doors." Owner name on endpaper and page 101. 1/8" tear at top of spine, pages tanned. An attractive book and a collection of written snapshots of life in another time. Good+.

Kemble, the "Story-teller's Pack" holds among its contents: "The Magic Egg," in which a magician's betrothed investigates his use of a wish-granting egg to hypnotize his audiences; "The Widow's Cruise," chronicling "the very successful endeavor of a good woman, not only to rise to the level of the male maritime yarn, but to soar above it, and to look with pardonable contempt upon certain persons of the contrary sex, who had under-estimated her"; and the supernatural mystery "The Bishop's Ghost and the Printer's Baby," inspired by the crumbling tomb of Chaucer in Westminster Abbey. 7 3/4" X 5 1/4". viii, 380pp. Binding designed by Margaret Armstrong, with her monogram to upper board.

From Wikipedia: Myrtle Reed ( 1874 -1911) Was An American Author, Poet, Journalist, And Philanthropist. She Wrote A Number Of Bestsellers And Even Published A Series Of Cookbooks Under The Pseudonym Olive Green. She Graduated From The West Division High School, Chicago, Where She Edited The School's Newspaper Called The Voice, During Which Time She Corresponded With James Sydney Mccullough, A Young Irish-Canadian Who Was Editing A College Newspaper In Toronto.[1] She Married Mccullough In 1906, After A Courtship Of Nearly 15 Years.[1] She Was A Diagnosed Insomniac With Prescribed Sleeping Drafts. She Died On August 17, 1911, Aged 36, Of An Overdose Of Sleeping Powder Taken With Suicidal Intent In Her Flat, Called "Paradise Flat" At 5120 Kenmore Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Her Suicide Letter, Written To Her Maid, Annie Larsen, Was Published The Following Day. Her Will Directed Her Estate Be Divided Among Eight Charities That For Several Years Had Been Favorites Of Their Benefactor; However, Her Estate Was Subjected To At Least Two Different Lawsuits. Paradise Flat, The Residence In Which She Died, Was Burgled During Her Funeral; Among The Stolen Items Were Several De Luxe Or Signed, Slipcased, Limited-Edition Novels Written By The Decedent. A Famous Epigram Of Myrtle Reed, Taken From Threads Of Gray And Gold, Declares: "The Only Way To Test A Man Is To Marry Him. If You Live, It's A Mushroom. If You Die, It's A Toadstool." According To The Obituary, Reed Held Many Home Entertainments Including A "Model Husband Contest" Which Her Husband Won, But Her Suicide Note To A Friend Stated "If My Husband Had Been As Good And Kind To Me And As Considerate As You I Would Not Be Going Where I Am".

Hardcover. Condizione: Near fine. Kimball, Alonzo (illustratore). First Edition. First printing of the Toronto imprint, duodecimo size, 412 pp. The designs of Margaret Armstrong (1867-1944), utilising the Art Nouveau style and floral patterns, were a sensation in the publishing business; Armstrong created over 270 book designs, often for the works of well-known authors such as Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, and George Washington Cable. In addition to designing books, Armstrong wrote books as well, including a comprehensive guide to wildflowers in the American West, which she also illustrated. This novel by George Washington Cable (1844-1925) tells of a romance set in New Orleans during the American Civil War; Cable, considered the "first modern southern writer", used his fiction to highlight the injustices of racism in the South, and he is considered a precursor to William Faulkner.
