Synopsis
Excerpt from Dead Letters, and Other Narrative and Dramatic Pieces
The success of Prince and the other poems intended for recitation contained in the volume to which it gave its name, has induced me to offer to the public a few more narrative poems. As in the case of the earlier collection, the actual stories of which the various poems treat have been derived from divers sources, though the treatment itself is, so far as I know, original. A version of The Freak of Gwendolen is to be found, I think, in one of Mark Twain's books; while the story contained in The sea-bird's News I heard from the lips of one who was resident in Australia at the time when the incident actually happened.
