The Tinkerbell of the Maiden and Other Stories Great stories of a consecrated author of the short story

Edith warthon has held a place of honor in contemporary American literature.It was especially in the short story where her narrative talent was fully deployed, of which her ghost stories are an excellent sample.

The volume includes the following stories: The Maiden's Tinkerbell, After, and Kerfol.Why buy this book: Because this period novel is not like the others, it has characters, context and details that will immerse you in the depths of this wonderful world, a book of those to begin with and not leave it until you finish reading it.About the Author: (Edith Newbold Jones; New York, 1862 - Saint-Brice, Seine-et-Marne, 1937) American writer.
