Includes 10 well-constructed short stories, some a bit on the Romantic side, one leaning towards Gothic, several with interesting twists or surprise endings. Locke makes good observations about human behaviour and psychology thru' his fiction. Most stories incorporate little 'lessons' in compassion and love (in a sensitive way as part of the plot, not preachy). This volume includes Ladies in Lavender (from which the movie was made). First published in 1916. The stories take place in various settings in England. I quite enjoyed these stories & I do recommend this book.
