Despite the fact that a number of Rudolph Fisher's works appeared in national magazines such as Atlantic Monthly and McClure's, little critical attention has been devoted to his short fiction over the years. This collection brings together, for the first time, fifteen of Fisher's general adult stories, detective stories, and his stories for children, accompanied by an introduction, brief biography, and a chronology of his published work.
