THE NOVELS, STORIES, AND SKETCHES OF F. HOPKINSON SMITH
Beacon Edition. In Twenty-three Volumes
“He has always had unquestioning faith in the significance and interest of the simple, universal human experiences as they come to normal, brave, affectionate, gentle-mannered, or robust, untrained men and women.
“As he looks at nature so he looks at man: with clear vision; with sympathy rather than curiosity; with an eye for the fine things in the rugged man and the vigorous, sinewy, self-sustaining woman; and for the natural virtues, the deep tenderness, the true-heartedness in the man of long descent and the woman of gentle breeding.
