The Recording Angel

About this book

With an introduction by Edwin Mims. The medium through which the author presents this realistic story of a typical village in Georgia is an old blind woman, "the most silent, the most cultured, the most entertained, and the most beloved, woman in the town" who had with her other human qualities "a brilliant moral intelligence, and a sense of humour which she must have inherited from that wink in God's eye, somewhere mentioned in the New Testament, it was so divinely illuminating, so omnisciently astute, so smilingly patient."
