WINSTON COMPANY, PHILADELPHIA _Publishers of 3,000 Standard Books and 600 Styles of Bibles_ The Love-Tragedy of an Irish Poet THE PASSIONATE CRIME By E. Temple Thurston _Author of “The Open Window,” “The City of Beautiful Nonsense,” etc._ A charming picture of old Ireland with its quaint superstitions, its mystery and its romance. A traveler in Ireland comes across some exquisite verses written by Anthony Sorel, a strange poet, and in his desire to learn the life-story of the man the traveler finds a hidden history of love and tragedy. It is the story of Anthony Sorel and Anna Quartermaine whose romantic love and its woeful ending is ever the theme of the stories of these simple country folk. With hushed voices they tell how Anthony’s determination to seek the ideal life sent him away in fear lest he should transgress in loving a woman of the world; of Anna’s love for him that bade her follow him to his hut in the mountains, where they met at twilight. Sorel believed her to be the fairy woman of his dreams and when he realized that the woman before him was Anna he was maddened at his failure to escape her charms and the terrible things that happened then haunt the place forever like a banshee never at rest. But so beautifully is the Irish country pictured, so carefully are the characters of the people drawn, that the reader seems to live in a different world—the world of dreams come true—peopled by men and women strangely endowed with intuitive understanding and a love for and a strong faith in the influence of the mystic world. _Cloth, $1.30 Net_ _The New York Herald_ “The poverty, the idleness, the poetic feeling, the belief in fairies, the suspicion of strangers, are all convincingly shown. Moreover the story is one of genuine interest and the manner of its telling decidedly original.” The New York Herald _The New York Globe_ “The story reveals Mr. Thurston’s fine and varied literary talent.” The New York Globe _The Boston Herald_ “The enchantment of the story survives its telling.” The Boston Herald
