Description:

In this attractive collection of tales Lord Dunsany mixes reality with fantasy to entertain us with a series of modern detective stories.

Some are macabre such as the one called ‘Two Bottles of Relish’. Others have a lighter and more amusing touch but all are invested with the author’s own compelling brand of writing. The variety and originality of plot in all these twenty-six tales stimulates the imagination and carries the reader along in a state of continuous excitement and anticipation.

In this volume we meet the acknowledged master of the short story at his best--a delight to the reader and a model for others to follow. [Suggest a different description.]
