The Holy Cross and Other Tales

To this volume as it was originally issued have been added five Tales, beginning with "The Platonic Bassoon," which are characteristic of the various moods, serious, gay, or pathetic, out of which grew the best work of the author's later years. In paying a tribute to the mingled mirth and tenderness of Eugene Fieldthe poet of whose going the West may say, "He took our daylight with him"one of his fellow journalists has written that he was a jester, but not of the kind that Shakespeare drew in Yorick. He was not only,so the writer implied,the maker of jibes and fantastic devices, but the bard of friendship and affection, of melodious lyrical conceits; he was the laureate of childrendear for his "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" and "Little Boy Blue"; the scholarly book-lover, withal, who relished and paraphrased his Horace, who wrote with delight a quaint archaic English of his special devising; who collected rare books, and brought out his own "Little Books" of "Western Verse" and "Profitable Tales" in high-priced limited editions, with broad margins of paper that moths and rust do not corrupt, but which tempts bibliomaniacs to break through and steal. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
