They emphasize once more the fact that Lafcadio Hearn was one of the most romantic and fascinating literary figures of our time. Son of a Greek mother and an Irish father, educated in England, and winning his first meagre laurels in America, he went in middle life to merge his sensitive, imaginative spirit_with that of Japan, and married a Japanese wife.-N.
