The narrator and a mysterious woman he calls the Sphinx meet again across a glittering little dinner table after four years, and their talk sets the tone for the book. The prose fancies that follow are short sketches and stories: the death of a poet, the butterfly of dreams, a castle in Spain, the little joys of Margaret and a moonlit return to old places.
Delicate, whimsical prose by a leading writer of the 1890s, a separate book from his earlier Prose Fancies. Download the free EPUB.
