Edna Worthley Underwood gathers and translates stories by writers of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, introducing each author with a short sketch. Yaroslav Vrchlický’s “Brother Cœlestin”, Caragiale’s “Easter Candles”, Svatopluk Čech’s “The Journey” and a tale of the Montenegrin frontier show village life, faith and passion in lands little known to English readers.
