The vessel now speeding along the southern coast of ...

  • A Bicycle of Cathay
    Frank R. Stockton / Frank RStockton
    It was a beautiful summer morning when slowly I wheeled my way along the principal street of the village of Walford.

I was the teacher of the village school, which useful insti-tution had been closed for t...

  • The Captain’s Toll-Gate
    Frank R. Stockton / Frank RStockton

It is proper, also, that something be said of the stories themselves; of the circumstances in which they were written, the influences that determined their directio...

    My grandmother sat in her own particular easy-chair by the open window of her back parlor. This was a pleasant place in which to sit in the afternoon, for the sun was then on the other side of the house, and she could look not only over the smooth grass of the side yard and the flower beds, which were under her especial care, but across the corner of the front lawn into the vil...
