About this book
Bayard Taylor's volume pairs a long story set in old Russia with a group of shorter tales. The title story, Beauty and the Beast, takes place in Kinesma, a town on the Volga between Kostroma and Nijni-Novgorod, around the middle of the eighteenth century, where Prince Alexis rules over ten thousand serfs. Taylor says he took the facts from the Russian writer Petjerski and supplied the fancy himself.
Tales of Home follows with eight stories, among them Twin-Love, Friend Eli's Daughter, Miss Bartram's Trouble and Mrs. Strongitharm's Report.
