Old Maids And Burglars In Paradise

""Old Maids and Burglars in Paradise"" is a collection of short stories written by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. The stories are set in the late 19th century and explore the lives of women who are considered to be ""old maids"" or spinsters. These women are often overlooked and undervalued by society, but Phelps gives them a voice and a platform to share their stories. The book also includes stories about burglars and their adventures, which provide a contrast to the lives of the old maids. The burglars are often portrayed as daring and adventurous, but also flawed and vulnerable. Overall, ""Old Maids and Burglars in Paradise"" is a thought-provoking collection of stories that explores themes of gender, class, and social norms. Phelps' writing is engaging and insightful, and the characters she creates are complex and relatable.
