Excerpt from Immensee Not only is "Immensee" the story by which Theodor Storm achieved his first great success, but it is still the one by which he is best known to the reading public. It appeared in 1854 in the form of a pretty booklet and was so thoroughly appreciated that in 1888 it had reached its thirty-first edition. Its author was born in the year 1817, in Husum, "The gray city by the sea, " to which his muse pays tribute, and that, as he tells us, he loved so well. For generations it had been the home of his mother's people, and here stood the venerable Storm house of which our author gives us so many a glimpse in his minute and almost loving descriptions of the homes where dwell the old people he delights to portray, that the careful reader can almost reconstruct it in imagination. In the houses of these old North German families there are not wont to be sudden changes, but one long-lived generation slips away and is replaced by another without any rude upsetting of time-honored customs and surroundings. Family traditions are as carefully preserved and handed down as are the caskets and chests that hold the jewels and bridal gown of some old ancestress.
