An incredible collection of the most beloved short stories by the American novelist and short-story writer James Lane Allen. His works, including the stories in this book, often portrayed the culture and dialects of his native Kentucky. His writings are an essential part of the late 19th-century local color era when writers aimed to capture the vernacular in their works. As a result, Allen has been considered "Kentucky's first important novelist."
