โœฆ Synopsis

Day's End and Other Stories , H. E. Bates's first short story collection published in 1928 when he was just 23, depicts the rural lives of quirky characters cast, in his distinctive, career-defining style, against vivid landscapes.

Each story has a youthful quality, intimate and often profound, perfectly demonstrating the progression of this masterful wordsmith. Bates explores bittersweet young love in 'The Birthday', the delightful reflections of a man spellbound by the sounds of the sea and the breathing of his new baby in 'The Holiday', and two old friends in 'Fishing', described by David Garnett as a tale that "could hardly be shorter and could hardly be slighter, but it is a complete and perfect little work of art, full of humour and containing a profound reflection on human life."
