Lafcadio Hearn 
Leaves from the Diary of an Impressionist; Early Writings by Lafcadio Hearn [EPUB ebook] 

It is this group of papers, of special interest and significance to the student of Hearn, themselves marked by the rich beginnings of his characteristic charm, that have been selected to form the bulk of the present volume. Hearn himself at one time began to prepare for the press a collection of these papers, with the Floridian Reveries as its initial section. Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was born in Greece, grew up in Ireland, and worked as reporter in the United States before moving to Japan.
