We send them out on demand, carefully selecting our agents to meet the circumstances in every case."The plot, as thus roughly sketched, presents almost unlimited poten-tialities, which Mr. Lang has fully utilized in the eleven stories thatfollow.This book is illustrated and annotated with a rare extensive biographical sketch of the author, Andrew Lang, written by Sir Edmund Gosse, CB, a contemporary poet and writer.
