Imagine a future in which traditional gender roles are reversed and men have quite literally become enslaved to the capricious whims of their female masters. Irving E. Cox created a masterpiece, a futuristic story where men, and not women, are marketable products in a matriarchal, and not patriarchal, society. The role reversal as propounded in this story sounds unthinkable in our times, but it sounds plausible at some point in the distant future. This story shows how love always is a major part of life...and how it can either aid or break someone.

Everyone is in a panic - a dragon has been discovered in a cave near the town! The people call for that famous dragon-slaying knight Saint George to defeat the monstrous beast.

Window in Thrums - the story of the "untrue son" - is about the fictional village of Thrums. The story and setting are widely acknowledged to be modelled on Barrie's home town of Kirriemuir. It was one of his earlier works which, along with Auld Licht Idylls, also published in 1889. The novel contains many memorable sketches and illuminations of Scottish life at the time, and it paved the way for the rest of Barrie's great career.
