 RABINDRANATH TAGORE'S NEW BOOK

RABINDRANATH TAGORE Author of "Fruit Gathering," "Gitanjali," "The Crescent Moon," etc.

Some of the more notable of Mr. Tagore's short stories are here presented in translations by the author and with illustrations by native Indian artists. Ernest Rhys, in his biography of Tagore, devotes much space to a consideration of him as a short story writer, advancing the opinion that this particular form of literature is one of the most important expressions of Tagore's genius. Now for the first time English readers are given the opportunity of acquainting themselves with this new Tagore and of forming their own estimate of him. None of the material in this volume has ever appeared before in English.
