"The Literary Sense" is a 1903 collection of short stories for adults by
Edith Nesbit (1858 - 1924). Nesbit was an English poet and author who
published more than 60 children's books under the name E. Nesbit. She
was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, which
had a significant influence on the Labour Party and British politics in
general. Other notable works by this author include: "The Prophet's
Mantle" (1885), "Something Wrong" (1886), and "The Marden Mystery"
(1896). Contents include: "The Unfaithful Lover", "Rounding off a
Scene", "the Obvious", "The Lie Absolute", "The Girl with the Guitar",
"The Man with the Boots", "The Second Best", "A Holiday", "The Force of
Habit". "The Brute". "Dick, Tom and Harry", "Miss Eden's Baby". "The
Lover, the Girl, and the Onlooker", "The Duel", "Cinderella", "With an

becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that
we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern,
high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new
biography of the author.
