Product Description

Sins of the Fathers and Other Tales

by George Gissing

From the introduction, "In the twentieth year of his melancholy existence, George Robert Gissing, having involved himself in an offense against the law, was for a time imprisoned, then sent by his friends to America. For a while he lived upon what money he had brought with him, and for a time he taught the classics in Boston. Then his money failed him, and he faced a crisis. He purchased an emigrant ticket for Chicago, and in the western metropolis endeavored to make a living by pen. The four tales, here for the first time published between covers are all that have been discovered of his work of that period."

124 pages. 6.5" by 9.5"
