Excerpt from Abdallah Ou, le Trèfle A Quatre Feuilles: Conte Arabe The text-books of to-day in Modern French fiction show so marked a preference either for wildly romantic writers, like Dumas, or for decidedly realistic writers, like Balzac, Merimee, Maupassant, Coppee, that it is almost becoming alarming. Authors with delicate imagination, refined conceptions of life, and deep philosophical insight, have but very little vogue. To be convinced of the truth of our statement one needs only consult the catalogs sent out yearly by our great publishing firms. This book - which makes its appearance under the auspices of the "Oxford French Series" - is intended to react in favor of the class of authors last mentioned. Abdallah was written by the Grimm of French literature, the creator of the delightful fairy tales Les Contes bleus. The fact that Abdallah is an Oriental story should add to its interest for us, as the world is just beginning to awaken to the sense of the importance of Eastern civilization, which until recently has been so calmly ignored by our Occidental pride.
