A New England nun and other stories 2 reviews
Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman
Harper, 1920
A book I return to over and over.
I'm a big fan of Mary Wikins Freeman. I have over the years collected all of her books of short stories...this is one is my favorites and I have read it over and over again. It is a little collection of stories about people who have found themselves alone..and what making peace with and surrendering to that state of being brings into their lives. The gentle simplicity of their world written by Ms ...

This book is 51 pages,does not have any content whatsoever. Even that 1.99 ia truly a waiste of money. Because I can not give it 0 stars I gave it 1. This is not a book,it is not even a short story.

The Revolt of Mother and Other Stories.1 review
Mary Eleanor Wilkins, Freeman
The Feminist Press at CUNY, 1974
Thoughts that glow and words that burn
Even though I have read many books and short stories by great authors and is dazed, and full of admiration of their work, it happens once in a while, that a book or a story, that one has never heard mentioned goes right in to your heart and won't let go. That is what Mary Wilkins Freeman's stories did to me. I felt as if I had found a friend. There is such a pleasure to be found in her stories, ...

Collected ghost stories1 review
Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman
Arkham House, 1974
Marvelous collection of quirky ghost stories
This collection is well worth the price of admission. Not only is this an attractively packaged title with a dustjacket you could hang on a wall, the stories themselves -- most from the late 19th Century -- pack a punch despite the passage of time. Buy and enjoy!

A humble romance (The English library)1 review
Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman
Heinemann and Balestier, 1891
This collection catch you from its "humble" beginning
Each of Wilkins' stories is engrossing, yet surprising in its simplicity of characters and plot. Far from beautiful heiresses or men on panting steeds, the main characters are mostly old spinsters and sometimes a plain niece or two. The plot rarely goes beyond a long held grudge or-at the extreme-a woman left at the alter. But the stories pull you in from the start, as if you had known the ...

By The Light Of The Soul
Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman
Wildside Press, 2004
Maria's mother was originally from New England, and her conscience was abnormally active. Her father was of New Jersey, and his conscience, while no one would venture to say that it was defective, did not in the least interfere with his enjoyment of life. "Oh, well, Abby," her father would reply, easily, when her mother expressed her distress that she was unable to work as she had done, "we shall manage somehow. Don't worry, Abby." Worry in ...
