The present volume, originally published as Mes petites-maisons in 1860, and here offered in English for the first time in a translation by Brian Stableford, brings together six of Barbara's best tales, presented something in the manner of case studies. From "Outline of the Life of a Virtuoso," in which we follow the career of an obsessed violinist, and "Major Whittington," a classic science fiction novella that overflows with technological excesses, to the psychological "Irma Gilquin," the current selection reveals a writer whose influences were wide, whose ambitions were great, and whose previous neglect has been grossly unfair.
