| Publisher Description: This text contains a collection of Paul Laurence Dunbar's short fiction stories. Dunbar's tales are frank, and deal with real problems that can be encountered by anyone - regardless of colour or creed. These thought-provoking and insightful stories will appeal to those with an interest in post-emancipation America, and they are not to be missed by fans and collectors of Dunbar's masterful work. The stories contained herein include: 'Anner 'Lizer's Stumblin' Block', 'The Ordeal at Mt. Hope', 'The Colonel's Awakening', 'The Trail Sermons on Bull-Skin', 'Jimsella', 'Mt. Pisgah's Christmas Possum', 'A Family Feud', 'Aunt Mandy's Investment', etcetera. Many antiquarian books like this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author. |
