The Harlequinade is a book written by Dion Clayton Calthrop. The book is a collection of short stories that revolve around the character of Harlequin, a comic and mischievous character from the Italian Commedia dell'arte tradition. The stories in the book are set in different times and places, but all feature Harlequin as the central character. The book is divided into two parts. The first part consists of six stories that follow Harlequin's adventures in different settings, from a medieval castle to a modern-day city. The second part of the book is a longer story that follows Harlequin as he travels through different dimensions and meets various characters from different mythologies and folklore. Throughout the book, Calthrop explores themes of comedy, romance, and adventure, all through the lens of the Harlequin character. The stories are filled with humor, wit, and unexpected twists, making them an entertaining read for anyone who enjoys light-hearted fiction. Overall, The Harlequinade is a charming and whimsical collection of stories that will delight readers of all ages. Calthrop's writing is engaging and playful, and the character of Harlequin is a timeless figure that will continue to entertain readers for generations to come.ALICE. Well, she is a perfect darling. But you don't see her in the first scene. Now Psyche, who is the Soul, comes down ... whenever a baby's born, of course, a little scrap of Psyche is sent down! ... But this is how the story goes ... That she comes down from Mount Olympus where the gods live to adventure on the earth. And in the Harlequinade she's Columbine, but that only means a dove, and a dove is the symbol of the soul. And anybody who is fond of flowers knows that, because if you look at Columbine flowers you can see that they are made of doves with their wings out. And so she ought always to be dressed in blue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
