The Book of Easter
I checked out a reprint of the 1911 edition of The Book of Easter a couple of weeks ago, looking for illustrations to use for a project. I did not find any suitable pictures(although there are some lovely, very Art-Nouveau images), but ended up reading the entire book.
My favorite parts were some of the poetry and hymns that I was not familiar with, and a short story by Zona Gale. I was impressed enough with Gale's tale that I plan to look for more by her -- her story reminded me of a mix of O. Henry and Grace Livingstone Hill.
My least favorite parts were the stories about the gods (small g) of antiquity. I did like, though, the poem "Pan is Dead."
