Description

This collection combines stories from his previous books THE SILVER AGE and THREE EVENINGS.

In these stories James Lasdun views greed and excess from illuminating angles and the impulse of those who own too much to dispossess themselves.

He examines the callousness by which adults lose influence over children and the instinctive tactics devised by children for gaining power over adults.

He calls corruption, in its ingenious guises, to account while acknowledging the perverse fascination of human foibles.

Each story casts a curious spell, in which objects and the natural world are tinged with an aura of the magical.

A sensuous lyricism of prose governed by a witty and subtle intelligence brings these stories their very special flavour.
