"Illustrated Stories by Hanns Heinz Ewers" is a hard bound book with dustcover that contains three illustrated stories that were at one time published individually in the German. They are:

"The Hearts Of Kings", an interesting story concerning the French revolution and a strange painter that paints with the hearts of the kings of France. It is illustrated by Stefan Eggeler.

"The Sad Story Of My Drying Out" is an account of HHE's experiences with prohibition during his enforced stay in the United States immediately before and after World War I. It is illustrated by Oscar Berger.

"Edgar Allan Poe" is HHE's tribute to Edgar Allan Poe. This contains the original illustrations, the original intro by Aldele Lewisohn and the poem "Sphinx" plus a short essay by Joe Bandel.

All stories are translated by Joe Bandel in cooperation with the Ewers estate.

I've decided to clean up my act a bit and focus on quality paperbacks since that is what sells. But I plan to publish certain books such as this one, "A Book of Fables", "The Hired Grandmother and Other Fairytales", and "Mogani Nameh" only as hard cover editions.

I hope to have Hanns Heinz Ewers Volume II out next month. Then I will resume work on Karl Hans Strobl's "Lemuria". Hopefully it will come out this summer.
