Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-18 00:00:00 Douglas Shaw I was given this collection of Richard Harding Davis' wonderful short stories in the form of an unblemished 1891 first edition for my birthday by a very dear, caring individual. I will cherish this old hardcover book, 124 years old, not only for the sentiment of this extravagant gift, but also for the literary treasures of prose contained therein. I'm embarrassed now to admit that though I'd heard of Richard Harding Davis, I'd never read any of his work. His stories were glorious, his prose clean, easily understood but perfectly delicate. Each and every one of these short stories were fantastic and I adored the way that several of them were connected in a way, chief protagonists of some appearing in cameos or in name only in others. My favorite stories of the bunch were "A Walk up the Avenue", "The Other Woman", "'There Were Ninety and Nine'", "The Cynical Miss Catherwaight", and all three of the short Van Bibber short tales at the end.
