Six tales of fantasy and fact, the latter sourced from myth and historical events, the former from the imagination of author Brander Matthews. Ghost ships, pictures of the past, a comedic homage to Washington Irving and a crime thriller await the reader, with the volume concluded with a note from the author, written in 1896. Matthews wrote more than thirty books on a wide range of subjects, from novels to educational non-fiction, play scripts to biographies. His autobiography, 'These Many Years', appeared in 1917, is a well-told story which offers a fascinating insight into the arts and life in Manhattan circa 1860-1900. 'Tales of Fantasy and Fact' is an engagingly written collection of imaginative fiction from the late Victorian era.
