  1. Part Five of Eighteen Volumes. Gilbert, Canadian-born novelist and politician, his literary reputation lies primarily on his earlier descriptive, dramatic and historic Canadian stories. He moved to England in 1889 and later served in Parliament. Parker explains that in this edition of his work, each volume will have a special introduction setting forth, as far as possible, the relation of each work to the author, to its companion works, and to the scheme of his literary life. A series of tales based upon his travels to and adventures in the southern Pacific and Australia. While not as popular as his Pierre stories, they were still widely received. Contents: Cumner’s Son; The High Court of Budgery-Gar; An Epic in Yellow; Dibbs, R.N.; A Little Masquerade; Derelict; Old Roses; My Wife’s Lovers; The Stranger’s Hut; The Planter’s Wife; Barbara Golding; The Lone Corvette; A Sable Spartan; A Vulgar Fraction; How Pango Wango was Annexed; An Amiable Revenge; The Blind Beggar and the Little Red Peg; A Friend of the Commune; and A Pagan of the South.
