Encounters; Stories (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Encounters; StoriesHe saw the family in silhouette against the windows; the windows looked out into a garden closed darkly in upon by walls. There were so many of the family it seemed as though they must have multiplied during the night their flesh gleamed pinkly in the cold northern light and they were always moving. Often, like the weary shep herd, he could have prayed them to keep still that he might count them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
