Better Dead

Category: Author:J. M. Barrie 

This is the only American edition of my books produced with my sanction, and I have special reasons for thanking Messrs.

The little children run and play along the roadways at ...

Category: Author:novel 

A hot, windless August day had settled down into a dull, brooding evening, presageful of a coming storm. It was nearly dark by the time Lionel Dering was ready to turn his face homeward.

Miriam ran upstairs narrowly ahead of her thoughts. In the small enclosure of her room they surged about her, gathering power from the familiar objects silently waiting to share her astounded contemplation of the fresh material.
