Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from The Master Mosaic-Workers
While it is true that the gifted author of "Consuelo" has not, in this charming novelette, adhered with absolute accuracy to known facts concerning the Venetian painters and mosaic-workers whom she introduces to her readers, she has followed them with sufficient closeness to justify the classification of the story as an historical romance.
