| Publisher Description: This rare antiquarian book contains a short collection of three fictional tales written by Maurice Thompson, including: A fortnight of Folly, The Tale of a Sculptor, and Carriston's Gift. These delightfully timeless tales are sure to prove as entertaining to modern readers as they were for their contemporary audiences, elected for republication now due to their literary value and in the hope that they shall continue to be read and enjoyed by discerning bookworms for generations to come. James Maurice Thompson (1844 - 1901) was a novelist famous for engendering the renaissance of the bow as a tool for hunting in America; Other notable works of his include: Alice of Vincennes (1900), The Witchery Of Archery (1878), and How to train in Archery (1879). This scarce book was originally published in 1888 and we are proud to republish it now with a new introductory biography of the author. |
