“Vignettes: A Miniature Journal of Whim and Sentiment” is a collection of short stories by the British writer of the late Victorian era Hubert Crackanthorpe. Being a supporter of naturalism, Crackanthorpe was also often compared with his contemporary, Guy de Maupassant. They both shared a passion for detailed psychological portraits. In addition, Crackanthorpe had a talent for describing scenes in a style that was rich with substance and texture.
