These facts lend special interest to the announcement of this book, which is a sequel to that collection of religious “Song Offerings.” Since the issue of his first book, some four years ago, Tagore has rapidly grown in popularity in this country, until now he must be counted among the most widely read of modern poets. Another volume of the merit, the originality, the fine spiritual feeling of “Gitanjali” would even further endear him to his thousands of American admirers. The Hungry Stones and Other Stories 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 the new Tagore and of forming their own estimate of him. None of the material in this volume has ever appeared before in English. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY
