The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories

Category: Author:novel 

 Where the great plain of Tarphet runs up, as the sea in estuaries, among the Cyresian mountains, there stood long since the city of Merimna well-nigh among the shadows of the crags.

Summer Guests

The Jesus of History

This book has grown out of lectures upon the historical Jesus given in a good many cities of India during the winter 1915-16.
