Synopsis
Frank Collymore was at the centre of the West Indian literary renaissance of the forties and fifties. He was a master of the short story, bringing together a mordant wit and a sympathetic understanding of human failings to tackle subjects ranging from the eccentric to the psychotic. This collection includes 'Shadows', a sombre depiction of alienation, a satirical dissection of social climbing in 'RSVP to Mrs Bush-Hall', and in 'The Snag' a young boy's growing pains are written about with gentle irony.

Synopsis
Although West Indian in character and setting, these stories by Frank Collymore (1883-1980) are universal in their themes, and show Collymore's skill in creating atmosphere and exploring human failings. An appraisal of his work by Harold Barratt and Reinhold Sander is included.
