In these \"Winter Evening Tales,\" Mrs. Barr has spread before her readers a feast that will afford the rarest enjoyment for many a leisure hour.There are few writers of the present day whose genius has such a luminous quality, and the spell of whose fancy carries us along so delightfully on its magic current. In these \"Tales\"--each a perfect gem of romance, in an artistic setting--the author has touched many phases of human nature. Some of the stories in the collection sparkle with the spirit of mirth; others give glimpses of the sadder side of life.
