Thomas Hardy

A Changed Man and Other Tales Illustrated Thomas Hardy

A Changed Man and Other Tales is a collection of twelve tales written by Thomas Hardy. The collection was originally published in book form in 1913, although all of the tales had been previously published in newspapers or magazines from 1881 to 1900. There are eleven short stories and a novella The Romantic Adventures of a Milkmaid. At the end of the book there is a map of the imaginary Wessex of Hardy's novels and poems. Six of the stories were published before 1891 and therefore lacked international copyright protection when the collection began to be sold in October 1913. Looks like it's been printed on a 70s printer with the carriage control symbols still on it. Too painful to read. What kind of person could produce this. Utter rubbish. Unreadable print. Is this printed to order? Not like a normal paperback. If I had known that I wouldn't have wasted my money. I will try to get a copy out of the library.
