A bundle of letters

A Bundle of Letters” is a comic short story by Henry James, originally published in The Parisian magazine in 1879, which is also when the story takes place. The story is one of James’ few ventures into epistolary fiction.

Written in the form of epistles, the humour and wit of this work is irresistible. Letters from different characters who belong to different nationalities are included in the work. Each character has its own individuality and is drawn in detail. The story monopolizes the attention from the very beginning.
