"Miracle Star Above the Sky is a touching poetic story of a Dreamer who desires a child so immensely that they imagine having a miracle baby, one who fills them with wonder and joy. Their immense desire translates to daily prayers to God or to the universe to bring a blessed miracle into their life. This little miracle has been a dream of theirs for a very long time.... Not only do they imagine this blessing, they envision their baby as if it's already here and think of all the things they plan to do with their little bundle of joy. This book creates wonder with beautiful and sometimes humorous illustrations. This is not just a story for children; it's a book for adults and children alike to embrace and read together. It's about the feeling of a wish fulfilled, the beauty and joy of holding this miracle close to their heart. Miracle Star Above The Sky is the perfect gift for baby showers, Mother's Day and for anyone who dreams of a child of their own."

A doctor in the Dutch East Indies torn between his medical duty to help and his own mixed emotions; a middle-aged maidservant whose devotion to her master leads her to commit a terrible act; a hotel waiter whose love for an unapproachable aristocratic beauty culminates in an almost lyrical death and a prisoner-of-war longing to be home again in Russia. In these four stories, Stefan Zweig shows his gift for the acute analysis of emotional dilemmas. His four tragic and moving cameos of the human condition are played out against cosmopolitan and colonial backgrounds in the first half of the twentieth century.

This collection contains ten tales -- including five that have never before appeared in book form -- by Hamet Prescott Spofford, the only woman writer to master the mode of the symbolic romance, which is often clamed to represent the mainstream of American fiction. Spofford dazzled readers in the early 1860s with a number of stories that seemed to enlarge the boundaries of romantic fiction. She established a reputation as the female heir to the literary tradition of Poe and Hawthorne with such works as the detective story "In a Cellar," the complex symbolic romance "The Amber Gods," and the frightening tale of frontier adventure. "Circumstance." These three stories provide the most important female counterpart to the works of the major male romantics and represent the final flowering of romantic fiction in New England.
