The Long Exile, And Other Stories. INTRODUCTION THE contents of the present volume illustrate Count Tolstors versatility to a remarkable degree. His stories for children are marked by the simplicity and sincerity that children demand. What could be more fascinating to a boy than his description of his dogs And is there anything in literature, anywhere, more perfect in its absolute symmetry, its inherent pathos, and its unobtrusive moral than the story called in the original Sod sees the Truth The author himself, while he regards with scant consideration his earlier works, such as War and Peace and Anna Karenina, places this story in the highest rank as complying with the canons of art.
