If you don't know Wharton's unique blend of humour and social accuracy this is a wonderful way to start. Entertaining, highly inteligent and witty stories.

A nice set of short stories from the past. Unpredictable and widely varied from one author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Her insights and tales are simply delightful
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020
FIRST LINE REVIEW: "The Hermit lived in a cave in the hollow of a hill." I continue to enjoy these brief slides back in time to the land of Wharton. Her insights and tales are simply delightful, but also quite progressive for her time. She would be the awesomely sassy guest at my dinner table if I were given the gift of inviting a number of people from the past to join me there. I have no doubt that she would bring a lot of "fire" to that dinner.
