Among some of Elizabeth Bisland's more interesting findings in her Life and Letters of Lafcadio Hearn were his autobiographical fragments of which there were seven thus collected posthumously. These fragments are lesser-known writings by Hearn, save to his biographers, and are titled as follows:
1) My Guardian Angel
2) Idolatry
3) Stars
4) Intuition
5) My First Romance
6) In Vanished Light
7) Elusion
note: Bisland, perhaps, mistakingly places Stars as being about time spent in New York City when in fact it is more likely to have been a reminiscence of Cincinnati days. Also, My Guardian Angel is among Hearn's most chilling pieces.
