"One of my library treasures….Genius and the skill of the magician's wand…Too significant to be ignored." -Marion Harland, The Independent, Volume 76, October, 1913 "As the title suggests, 'Stories that End Well' is pervaded by Octave Thanet's spirit of optimism, and leaves the reader in a pleasant frame of mind." -Publishers Weekly, Volume 80, July, 1911 "This is a thoroughly delightful book containing eleven stories, each long enough for a one-time reading and marked in an eminent degree by gentle satire, pathos and the intangible charm that pervades fiction in which the characters impress one with their reality and very human traits. They are optimistic stories. Octave Thanet is far above the host of mediocre writers whose efforts flood the magazines and the tables of popular publishers….The book is one of the best volumes of short stories that it has been our fortune to read in many months." -The Twentieth Century Magazine, Volume 4, April, 1911 "Shows the same warm human sympathy that is always evident in her novels. Octave Thanet has, moreover, a genuine sense of humor, and her characters live and talk with a convincing air of reality. On the whole, her attitude toward life in these stories is optimistic, although not all of them have a conventional happy ending." -New Outlook, Volume 99, September, 1911 CONTENTS I AN ADVENTURE IN ALTRURIA II THROUGH THE TERRORS OF THE LAW III THE REAL THING IV THE OLD PARTISAN V MAX--OR HIS PICTURE VI THE STOUT MISS HOPKINS' BICYCLE VII THE SPELLBINDER VIII THE OBJECT OF THE FEDERATION IX THE LITTLE LONELY GIRL X THE HERO OF COMPANY G XI A MIRACLE PLAY
