Edith Nesbit Bland, English author and poet, published approximately 40 books for children under the name of E. Nesbit. Her innovative body of work influenced many subsequent fantasy writers. Nesbit’s reputation rests almost exclusively on her work for children, but she also wrote for adults. In addition to about a dozen novels for adults, she published many short stories.

One of Nesbit’s early collections of short stories for adults, this book presents ten little slices of life, describing incidents that have far-reaching consequences. Each of these tales is narrated in the first person, with an engagingly rustic turn of phrase that brings the characters to life.
