By the Waters of Paradise," F. Marion Crawford delivers a compelling exploration of supernatural themes woven into richly textured narratives.
I remember my childhood very distinctly. I do not think that the fact argues a good memory, for I have never been clever at learning words by heart, in prose or rhyme; so that I believe my remembrance of events depends much more upon the events themselves than upon my possessing any special facility for recalling them.
Perhaps I am too imaginative, and the earliest impressions I received were of a kind to stimulate the imagination abnormally.
A long series of little misfortunes, so connected with each other as to suggest a sort of weird fatality, so worked upon my melancholy temperament when I was a boy that, before I was of age, I sincerely believed myself to be under a curse, and not only myself, but my whole family and every individual who bore my name.
Francis Marion Crawford, born August 2, 1854 and died April 9, 1909, was an American writer noted for his many novels, especially those set in Italy, and for his classic weird and fantastical stories.
