The Maker of Moons

The first three stories are linked by the theme of a dream wife named Ysonde.

The weird nature of the first story has echoes in the other two, which feature picturesque animal figures, such as a red ibis and a disagreeable porcupine.

The story "In the Name of the Most High" is set during the American Civil War.

The next two stories are humorous romantic tales with a fishing theme and setting.

The first edition featured a frontispiece with a black and white illustration by Lancelot Speed.
