- Synopsis
- As well as being a novelist, poet and letter writer of remarkable wit and vigor, Sylvia Townsend Warner was also one of the most entertaining and original short-story writers of this century., She possessed an extraordinary range and variety, from the hilarious to the melancholy, from naturalistic and sometimes lethal evocations of middle-class life to the imaginary worlds of the Kingdoms of Elfin: few have written as well as she did about the lonely, the eccentric, the voluble and the old, and few have had as strong a sense of touching absurdities and vagaries of human behavior. The stories included here are drawn from several collections, the earliest published in 1932 and the latest in 1984, six years after her death; they have been selected on grounds of excellence, and to suggest the breadth and scope of her work. To those unfamiliar with Sylvia Townsend Warner's world, the Selected Stories is the ideal introduction; to those who already love and admire her books, it will prove a perfect reminder and embodiment of this most magical of writers.
