Winter Evening Tales

About this film

LibriVox recording of Winter Evening Tales by Amelia E. Barr. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. This 1896 collection contains 17 short, Christian-oriented stories. “In these ‘Winter Evening Tales,’ Mrs. Barr has spread before her readers a feast that will afford the rarest enjoyment for many a leisure hour. There are few writers of the present day whose genius has such a luminous quality, and the spell of whose fancy carries us along so delightfully on its magic current. In these stories, the author has touched many phases of human nature. Some of the stories in the collection sparkle with the spirit of mirth; others give glimpses of the sadder side of life. Throughout all, there are found that broad sympathy and intense humanity that characterize every page that comes from her pen. Her men and women are creatures of real flesh and blood, not deftly-handled puppets; they move, act and speak spontaneously, with the full vigor of life and the strong purpose of persons who are participating in a real drama, and not a make-believe.” - Summary by Verla Viera and Preface For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other format…
