This, arguably Sylvia Townsend Warner's most luminous collection
of stories, was first published in 1966 and includes 'A Love
Match', hailed by the "Los Angeles Times" as 'a supreme example of
her technique.' It is the tale of Celia and Justin Tizard, sister
and war-scarred brother, whose uncommon closeness becomes the talk
of a small English village.
'Sylvia Townsend Warner was one of the most talented and
well-respected British authors of the twentieth century. Today she
is shamefully under-read. Her short stories have been particularly
neglected - and yet, intelligent, lyrical, beautifully crafted,
they constitute some of the very best of her work. It is wonderful
to see so many of them being made available again by Faber Finds.'

Not everyone needs a license to fight for justice! In a
superpowered society, there is nothing ordinary about evil anymore.
Heroes, trained and licensed to protect and defend the public
against supervillains, stand above all the rest. Not everyone can
be a hero, however, and there are those who would use their powers
to serve the people without legal sanction. But do they fight for
justice in the shadows, or for reasons known only to themselves?
Whatever they fight for, they are called...vigilantes. Number 6 has
enacted his plan to bring Naruhata to its knees, releasing dozens
of faceless anon drones into the streets. With Koichi still on the
run from the authorities, he'll need to come to an understanding
with Eraser Head in order to stay free. When Number 6 goes after
Pop in the hospital, the police and Koichi's friends may not be
able to stop him, and Koichi will have to face the deranged villain
alone...
Nie net ontglip die gevreesde maanhaar Tom se jaggeweer keer op
keer op onverklaarbare wyse nie – ook in die Stroebel-huishouding
draai die duiwel rond en tart Tom se verlede hom telkens in die
gestalte van beeldskone Maria Stroebel, wie se huwelik duidelik
wankel onder die druk van die boerdery. Hoewel die plaasvoorman,
Adolf Freimut, skynbaar die leisels stewig vashou, is daar iets
verdag omtrent die arrogante jong Duitser – en ook oom Wolfgang se
sekretaresse, June Crosby, blyk ’n slinkse geaardheid agter haar
bril en bolla te verberg. Boonop is Theresa Stroebel lank nie meer
die rabbedoe-tiener wat Tom van sy vorige besoeke onthou nie, maar
’n sjarmante jong dame met ’n uitgesproke wil … Is die
mensvreterleeu werklik die bron van die spanning tussen die
Stroebels – of die rookskerm waaragter groter kwaad gestook word?
En sal Tom daarin slaag om die dreigende krisis suksesvol af te
weer?
