"The Mystery of Choice" by Robert W. Chambers is a collection of short stories published in 1897. Set primarily in the atmospheric landscapes of Brittany, France, these interconnected tales blend natural beauty with macabre and eerie elements. The collection follows American protagonist Dick Darrel through three stories involving butterfly collecting rivalries, beetle observations, and priestly curses, while other tales explore ghostly transformations, uncanny islands, and mysterious creatures. The final piece is a poem about forgiveness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
