"For his dear friend Victoria on her eighth birthday Bill he made this Book"—recently made available to the publishers who are making it available to Faulkner's admirers. It takes place on the night before Dulcie's birthday and in a dream and through the "soft wisteria scented mist" she goes off with a red-haired boy and an old man and others to find the Wishing Tree. They wish, and they unwish, and at the end they meet St. Francis who gives them each a bird—and a little winged thought....Wishing Tree, well, it's Just a sprig of a story but, on the author's name, attention my materialize.
