Taking his title from the great symbol of German Romanticism, Henry van Dyke - Princeton professor, clergyman, and wartime minister to the Netherlands - gathers tales of the one thing a life is spent seeking: a knight who follows a legend, a Persian magus who follows a star, a man who at last finds the blue flower and fails to know it. American Romanticism at its most graceful, this edition presents the complete and unabridged collection, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
