Mary E. Wilkins

“ Always there is a freedom from commonplace, and a power to bold 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 " New England Nun, and Other Stories "? ”

“ 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. Y. All who enjoy the bright and fascinating short story will welcome this volume.—Boston Traveller.
A gallery of striking studies in the humblest quarters of American country life. No one has dealt with this kind of life better than Miss Wilkins. ”
