Book Description
"When a friend, a few weeks ago, told me that Henryk Sienkiewicz, the distinguished Polish novelist and author of "Fire and Sword" and "Quo Vadis," is a brother-inlaw of Madame Modjeska, I foolishly believed him. In the interval I have learned how grievously I was misinformed. A friend of Modjeska's writes me: "He [Sienkiewicz] is not a relative of Madame Modjeska's, but was at one time a friend, and wrote some of his novels while stopping on her ranch [in California]. He was the pioneer of that colony of Poles who went to California- hence his ' Lillian Morris.'" "Lillian Morris," I may explain, is the title of a charming story of Californian life. As originally published, it formed part of the author's record of his American travels, and has been translated by Mr. Jeremiah Curtin." -The Illustrated American, Volume 21 "Full of power and genius." -Christian Register "A Quartette of Short Stories that is Rarely Equaled." -Boston Times
