The second collection of short stories from the pen of E.F. Benson. Found within are stories with a touch of the authors penchant for melodrama and the macabre, sometimes venturing into the realm of Science Fiction, often delving into the nature of the spirit. Some of the stories seem quirky, almost quaint, but several others are quite powerful and have been admired by some of the greatest practitioners of the genre. - Summary by Andy Sames
