Description and Table of Contents

Description

The 14 short stories in this volume demonstrate Simms' combining of homey realism with fabulous flights of fancy. Each offers an intimate view of 19th-century work and domesticity, and forays into legend and superstition. The introduction places the work in a biographical and historical context.
