The Wings of the Dove is a 1902 novel by Henry James. It tells the story of Milly Theale, an American heiress stricken with a serious disease, and her effect on the people around her. Some of these people befriend Milly with honourable motives, while others are more self-interested. The Wings of the Dove has one of the strongest critical positions of any of James' works, although James himself sometimes expressed dissatisfaction with it. In his preface to the New York Edition, James spent much time confessing to supposed faults in the novel: defective structure, characters not as well presented as they could be, and a general failure to realise his initial plan for the book.

"Mr. Matthew Arnold, like other good men of our times, disliked the idea of being made the subject of a regular biography; and the only official and authoritative sources of information as to the details of his life are the Letters published by his family, under the editorship of Mr. G. W.E. Russell (2 vols., London, 1895). To these, therefore, it seems to be a duty to confine oneself, as far as such details are concerned, save as regards a very few additional facts which are public property."

Dear Little Friends:I want to introduce the farmyard people to you, and to have you call upon them and become better acquainted as soon as you can. Some of them are working for us, and we surely should know them. Perhaps, too, some of us are working for them, since that is the way in this delightful world of ours, and one of the happiest parts of life is helping and being helped.Your friend,Clara Dillingham Pierson.

The dove is a universal symbol of peace, most commonly recognized as a metaphor for the Holy Spirit. In a collection of inspirational short tales, retired minister Jim Crompton provides a glimpse into the lives of diverse characters attempting to resolve a wide variety of conflicts, internal or external, with help from God. Lenny is a happy-go-lucky boy who hates going to school. But when a man speaks to his class one day about Jesus, everything changes for him. Life has been hard for Halina, an elderly Ukrainian woman who survived Auschwitz. On Christmas morning, she becomes young once again as she rises to enthusiastically greet her final visitor. When an unfortunate event lands Steven Peters in jail, he finds reassurance in a sweet voice dragged from the depths of his memories of Sunday school. The Wings of the Dove shares short Christian tales that explore how God the Holy Spirit brings restoration and peace in both obvious and hidden ways.
