From the Foreword "And so," the story writers used to say, "they lived happily ever after." Um-m-m—maybe. After the glamour had worn off, and the glass slippers were worn out, did the Prince never find Cinderella's manner redolent of the kitchen hearth; and was it never necessary that he remind her to be more careful of her finger-nails and grammar? After Puss in Boots had won wealth and a wife for his young master did not that gentleman often fume with chagrin because the neighbors, perhaps, refused to call on the lady of the former poor miller's son? It is a great risk to take with one's book-children. These stories make no such promises. They stop just short of the phrase of the old story writers, and end truthfully, thus And so they lived.

This slim volume of Edna Ferber's first major compilation of short stories is full of some delightful short stories. Published in 1912, they reveal an American past that has changed in many aspects yet in terms of human relations, some things are timeless. Her insertion of herself as the writer, the strong women's characters, the contrast between the city (Chicago, New York) and the country (Michigan & Illinois for example) and her ironic yet positive twists in her stories make for enjoyable reading almost 100 years later. Wit and pathos mix nicely. My only complaint about this Walking Lion Press version is that two of the stories are edited together - presumably by mistake - in the middle of the book. I believe other editions (mostly print-to-order) have rectified that problem however.Product details
