The Madness of Day

The Madness of Day by Meredith Nicholson and Illustrated by Frederic Dorr Steele, first published in 1917. "May to Mr. Nicholson is neither a person nor a month. It is a state of mind and an intoxication of spirit. The little tale is a gay and joyous fantasy that plays with the imagination like the wind through new-leafed trees."?—New York Sun. "No one who wishes to be charmed out of himself or herself for an hour or so should neglect to read the story."?—Philadelphia Ledger. "Meredith Nicholson has written nothing more charmingly fanciful or more filled with the spirit of the springtime than 'The Madness of May.'"—St. Louis Republic. Meredith Nicholson (1866–1947) was a best-selling author from Indiana, United States, a politician, and a diplomat.
