Notes
-
Dedication: On all the folk that wish me well,
I with affection look.
To all who count themselves my friends
I dedicate my book! -
Epigraph: Merely a string of fancies, a simple wreath of flowers,
Culled but in love,
And lightly wove
To pass the happy hours.
Merely a string of stories, a chain of mystic dreams,
Tears, joy, or mirth,
A spark on earth,
That in the twilight gleams! (Agnes Littlejohn) -
Includes a section of 'Press Notices' for previous publications by Littlejohn.
-
Includes one untitled poem by the author.
-
The proceeds from the book were devoted to the Patriotic and Belgian War Funds.
