Type Collection


8 stories Published November 1881, evidently for the Christmas gift season. The publisher's standalone advertisement "A Charming Book for Children", The Athenaeum 2821 (1981-11-19) p678, specifies "Fcap. 4to, bound in vellum and gold, bevelled boards, gilt edges, 10s. 6d. [Now ready." It quotes a review in The Spectator (one week earlier, #2785 p1440): "Under the Sunset may be tried with the grown-up world with perfect success ...".

"The Fairytales assembled in Under the Sunset (coll 1882) are sinister, though with touches of Allegory that may have made them seem, to the Victorian mind, suitable for children." (underscore represents linked cross-reference) --SFE3, biographical entry by John Clute
