Popular Tales (Barnes & Noble Digital Library‪)‬

This engaging collection of stories, published in 1804, was intended not for polite society, but rather to inform and entertain everyday people. With her customary feel for character, lively dialogue, and straightforward style, Edgeworth pens tales that are as readable now as they were when first written. The selections include “Murad the Unlucky,” “The Lottery,” and “The Limerick Gloves.”
