Harriette Simpson Arnow is an American treasure. Of the twenty-five stories in this collection, fifteen were previously unpublished. Until now, the short fiction of Arnow has remained relatively obscure despite the literary acclaim given to her novels The Dollmaker and Hunter’s Horn. These stories, written early in her career for the most part, reveal an artistic vision and narrative skill and serve as harbingers for her later work.

The contributor’s notes at the back of the magazine include a photo of |H.L.Simpson,| actually a photo of one of her brothers-in-law. It was her little joke on a publisher that discriminated against women.... —from the Introduction
