Columbia and London: University of Missouri Press, (1997) dj. Hardcover first edition - A collection of 11 stories and 2 essays which reflects the range of Fisher's subjects between 1906 and 1956, from the unexpected triumph of an old maid quilter in New England to the early struggles of Booker T. Washington, the courage of a young French mother during World War I, and the anguish of prisoners of World War II, edited and with an introduction and afterword by Mark J. Madigan. "An introduction to the existence of this important American writer of stature whose achievement, meaning for us now Ñ and beauty Ñ have too long been scarcely known. In essential respects, Dorothy Canfield Fisher's work (and life), as revealed in Mark Madigan's superb introduction and afterword, are not dated. They speak directly to, of, our time, our needs, our central concerns. Joy and gratitude from those of us who have so long loved, been sustained and ever deepened by her."
