本书为获得1973年普利策奖的美国女作家Eudora Welty（1909-2001）的第一本短篇小说集，初版于1936年。书中小说以作者出生并长时间生活的美国南部为背景，奠定了Eudora重要南部作者的地位。 本书封面插画由1995年凭绘本《Smoky Night》（台译：《煙霧迷漫的夜晚》）获得凯迪克金奖的David Díaz绘制。

This is the first collection of Welty's stories, originally published in 1941. It includes such classics as "A Worn Path," "Petrified Man," "Why I Live at the P.O.," and "Death of a Traveling Salesman." The historic Introduction by Katherine Anne Porter brought Welty to the attention of the american reading public.
