Synopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The traumatic life of J. M. Barrie, source of universal creativity


Originally published in 1918, “Echoes of the War” is a wonderful collection of four short stories involving families affected by First World War by Scottish novelist J. M. Barrie, most famous for writing the children’s story Peter Pan.

In “Echoes of the War,” each of the stories deals with civilian life in London during the war with a touch of drama but also moments of humour. The stories are condensed, but also very well constructed.

    Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) began writing his autobiography long before the 1906 publications of these Chapters from my Autobiography. He originally planned to have his memoirs published only after his death but realized, once he’d passed his 70th year, that a lot of the material might be OK to publish before his departure. These chapters were published in serial form in the North American Review during 1906-1907. While much of the material consists of stories about the people, places and incidents of his long life, there’re also several sections from his daughter, which he calls “Susy’s biography of me”.

    Edgar Allan Poe is best known for his famous short horror stories; however, horror is not the only genre in which he wrote. How To Write a Blackwood Article and its companion piece A Predicament are satirical works exploring the pieces of the formula generally seen in short horror stories (“articles”) found in the Scottish periodical “Blackwood’s Magazine” and the successful misapplication of said formula by – horrors! – a woman author! – respectively. (Summary by Catharine Eastman and Wikipedia)

    When a gossip reporter is found dead in her office, Retired Military Police Cynthia Sharp is excited to kick back and read the headlines with the rest of the town.
