WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY A. N. WILSON

Review:
"Bowen's stories show the awesome capabilities of the English language and the surprise and mystery of the human soul" (Anne Tyler)
"Bowen's stories are novels that have been split open like rocks and reveal the glitter of the naked crystals which have formed them" (V.S. Pritchett Vogue)

Celebrated for her much-admired novels, including The Heat of the Day and The Death of the Heart, Bowen established herself in the front rank of the century's writers equally through her short fiction.
