Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Guardian Angel "A new Preface" is, I find, promised with my story. If there are any among my readers who loved Æsop´s Fables chiefly on account of the Moral appended, they will perhaps be pleased to turn backward and learn what I have to say here. This tale forms a natural sequence to a former one, which some may remember, entitled "Elsie Venner." Like that, it is intended for two classes of readers, of which the smaller one includes the readers of the "Morals " in Æsop and of this Preface. The first of the two stories based itself upon an experiment which some thought cruel, even on paper. It imagined an alien element introduced into the blood of a human being before that being saw the light. It showed a human nature developing itself in conflict with the ophidian characteristics and instincts impressed upon it during the pre-natal period. Whether anything like this ever happened, or was possible, mattered little: it enabled me, at any rate, to suggest the limitations of human responsibility in a simple and effective way. The story which follows comes more nearly within the range of common experience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
