Description
Max Beerbohm published these tales in London with William Heinemann in 1919. Two tales from the full book, James Pethel and A. V. Laider, stand apart as separate files, so this copy holds the rest. Enoch Soames leads the set.
Soames, a poet of the eighteen-nineties, failed so fully that a full new book on that decade's writing leaves his name out of its index. Beerbohm notes the gap with fond cruelty. His portraits of vain, gifted, and doomed men mix pity with sharp wit, and they rank among the finest short fiction of their age.
