The Fiddler Of The Reels And Other Stories - Dover Thrift Editions

As Popular Today As They Were During The Author's Lifetime, The Works Of Thomas Hardy Intrigue Readers With Their Gripping Narrative Power And Arresting Imagery. Hardy's Short Stories, Somewhat Overshadowed By His Poetry And Novels, Make Virtues Of The Genre's Inherent Constraints Of Economy And Simplicity, And Feature Evocative Writing Inlaid With Telling Details Like Precious Jewels. Three Of The Hardy's Finest And Most Representative Short Stories Appear In This Book - 'The Three Strangers'; 'The Distracted Preacher'; 'The Fiddler Of The Reels'.
