Publisher's log blind stamped to front panel; bottom edges untrimmed; 317 pp. Publisher's adverts laid in at rear. Collection of stories\n\n\"This\nis a collection of short stories of which the first, which gives its name to the book, is hardly the best. That distinction is reserved for \" Marsh Horny,\" into which the author has contrived to get more than a touch of the rather uncanny charm of Romney Marsh. \"Heroic Polly \" is also a good story, though the massacre at the end of it is too complete for most people's tastes. On the other hand \"Mrs. Busby-Glaisher's Awakening\" is disagreeable in every sense of the word, and it is difficult to find out quite what the author is driving at in the end.\" - The Spectator Archive 4\/22\/1911\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eBook Condition: \u003c\/span\u003eVery Good+: A firm copy with mild wear to spine edges and corners.
