Summary: A great storyteller and stylist
Comment: I'm very high on this book and its companion volume.
De la Mare's fiction has been available in mere piecemeal
form for decades now, despite his considerable distinction
as a writer of stories. In part, I think, it's because he
was bucking the prevalent trends of his time in the writing
of prose. He seems almost to come from an earlier generation.
That's not to say he's outmoded. His thinking and construction
are every bit as sophisticated as his use of language. But the
angle of attack is more poetic than realistic or naturalistic.
This particular volume contains several of his best stories.
I'll single out for particular praise "Miss Duveen," "Seaton's
Aunt" (one of the most harrowing stories of its length in
English), and an especial favorite, the long story "The Almond
Tree."
The rest of the book is worth one's time, too. The companion
volume is every bit as high in quality. With two large volumes
of stories in this series, all I can say is I regret there
aren't any more. (There's a book of stories for children
to follow, but that's a different category, with different
rules.)
