The Stories of El Dorado

The Stories of El Dorado is a compilation of stories told during pre-Columbian times on «The New Continent», penned by Frona Eunice Wait. Excerpt: «The people knew all about white and black pearls and how to get them from the bed of the ocean. In full sight of the island was a large reef of pink and white coral and the young prince went there many times to see the curious little insects building their graceful, airy houses over some rock hidden by the water. He sometimes imagined that he heard the mermaids calling to him. What he really did hear was the wind dashing the waves in and out of the coral chambers as if it were determined to wash them away.»
