AUTHOR'S NOTE TO THE FOURTH EDITION
..."Every
work of so-called imaginative literature, good or bad, is necessarily
at once both fact and fiction; and not only in the sense that fiction
is mingled with fact. In every single part fact and fiction
are inextricably interwoven." ... / F. P. G. / Simcoe,
Ontario,/ February, 1939"
