โœฆ Synopsis

SUMMARY:
'One of the century's great masters of English prose . . . It is never too late to read or reread Evelyn Waugh' Time In this unique collection of short stories composed between 192562, Evelyn Waugh's stand-alone tales are brought together with some of the pieces which later became the inspirations for his novels. 'Mr Loveday's Little Outing' is a blackly comic tale of a mental asylum and its favourite resident; 'Cruise' sees a hilarious series of letters from a naive young woman as she travels with her family; 'A House of Gentlefolks' observes a group of elderly eccentric aristocrats and their young heir; and in 'The Sympathetic Passenger' a radio-loathing retiree picks up exactly the wrong hitchhiker. These witty and immaculately crafted stories display the finest writing of a master of satire and comic twists.

### Amazon.com Review Mordant, mirthful, and unrelenting in their lampoon of aristocratic mischief, Evelyn Waugh's novels have earned him a permanent place in the literary pantheon.
