Complete and unabridged * * * * * * The Naiad is a ghost story, translated from the French of George Sand, by Katherine Berry de Zéréga. Absorbing as all of George Sand's books—and remarkable even for her—the reader is absorbed by the opening word and does not relax his absorption until the Le Fin. Mr. Jenkins is a public benefactor in the line of reprints he has chosen. From the Preface: when years ago the author of this volume read, with delight, the story in the original, she then decided to translate it, in order that others (unfamiliar with the language) might enjoy a similar pleasure; the work of publication, hardly begun, was interrupted by the illness and sudden death of her only daughter, and to one who in so many ways resembled the heroine of this sketch, this book is now dedicated.
