β¦ Synopsis
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:
"Thanks to Mrs. Kroeber's simple, supple style, the stories all succeed as stories; they please, engage, move, or divert without depending for their effect on their exotic source."βThe New Yorker
"The varying but almost always superb story style of these narratives will speak to all."βNew York Herald Tribune
"This is a jewel of a book."βSan Francisco Chronicle
"These stories enlarge life. They remind us of Shakespeare and Aeschylus. . .. That Mrs. Kroeber's book should generate such thoughts is proof of its power and beauty."βNew York Times Book Review
