Poems of Henry van Dyke, The
Complete edition of The Mansion by Henry van Dyke with 18 more of his short stories and many illustrations. Originally published as The Unknown Quantity : a book of romance and some half-told tales, it is a great treasury of wholesome tales for young and old.
"They are like etchings in which more is suggested than is in the picture. For this reason they are called Half-Told Tales, in the hope that they may mean to the reader more than they say."
All students of thought should get this historic book. This 1913 edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.
