All of the Works have been newly typeset for this edition. The texts have been mostly taken from the London Edition of the works (London: The Caxton Publishing Company, undated, 12 vols.). Some of the more widely available texts, chiefly the major novels, have been taken from e-texts available through Project Gutenberg, checked against and collated with the London Edition with the more inclusive version being preferred in any cases where the two texts differ. The Wolves and the Lamb, which is not found in the London Edition, has been based solely on a Project Gutenberg text.

Professor Micael Clarke (Assistant Professor, Loyola University Chicago) has contributed an introduction to the Works as a whole, printed in volume 1.

Professor Micael Clarke is Assistant Professor at Loyola University Chicago.

Interesting reviews

From Writing Out of Limbo: International Childhoods, Global Nomads and Third Culture Kids

“This terrific and substantial volume is a vital step in clarifying the experiences, gifts, and struggles of those who grew up around the world, or with those who grew up elsewhere. I can’t wait to teach with it.”
– Wendy Laura Belcher, PhD, Professor of Literature, Princeton University

“Well-grounded in classical perspectives and new visions of what it means to live in an intercultural world, the book offers a wonderful array of memoir, research, interviews, theory and even poetry. There’s something for everyone here!”
– Anne P. Copeland, PhD, Director, The Interchange Institute

“The selections here, varied as they are, share the quiet, profound, and rich experiences of people writing on the most innocent years, transcendent of cultural boundaries. Reading this book is a travel across the globe with an impressive group of worldly citizens.”
– Morten Ender, PhD, Professor of Sociology, United States Military Academy at West Point

“I recommend this book to all parents who are creating TCKs; to teachers and professors of TCKs; for general reading and understanding of the making of a citizen of the world; and, finally, to TCKs themselves, who will see that their experiences are shared with many others.”
– Linda A. Garvelink, President, Foreign Service Youth Foundation

“This book is an essential contribution to the discussion of migration and the art of finding a home between borders. In vivid prose, the authors reveal the value of cultural negotiation and the complexity of identities formed on the margins.”
– Neela Vaswani, PhD, Author of You Have Given Me a Country
