The Kindle edition of this, as always, has no interactive table of contents, but apart from that there are no technical issues to mention. The content is a collection of stories first published in 1903, set in various antique periods and locations such as Dark Age Caucasia, and China shortly after Lao-Tzu. They are fantasies, often a tad whimsical and sometimes stilted in language, but there is a wry and cynical humour behind all of them, and they make a point without (usually) being too heavy-handed. My own favourite is The Demon Pope, but all of them are worth reading. The stories published here are: Twilight of the Gods, The Potion of Lao-Tsze, Abdallah the Adite, The City of Philosophers, The Demon Pope, The Cupbearer, The Wisdom of the Indians, The Dumb Oracle, Duke Virgil, The cLaw, Alexander the Ratcatcher, The Rewards of Industry, Madam Lucifer, The Talisman, The Elixir of Life, The Poet of Panopolis, The Purple Head, The Firefly, Pan's Wand, A Page From the Book of Folly, The Bell of Saint Euschemon, Bishop Addo and Bishop Gaddo, The Philosopher and the Butterflies, Truth and Her Companions, The Three Palaces, New Readings In Biography and The Poison Maid.

I enjoyed reading this book, although I am not being religious in nature it was interesting to read a book written from a perspective of a person with very strong Christian beliefs going out into the wider world.
Format:Kindle Edition
I have the kindle version and as with many transcripts for kindle it is not easy on the eye because of the layout. I have found it quite difficult to get into probably because it reads like a precis.
