by Eugene FIELD (1850 - 1895)The Symbol and the Saint
An anthology of charming short stories, written by the poet for his only daughter Mary. The style is simple and conversational, sometimes dealing with the difficult subjects confronting children of the day, including poverty, discrimination and death, in a gentle, unfrightening manner.
