Ice House of the Mind is the third of this series of Stories and
Sketches. It contains the collections, His People, Faith and Hope,
published between 1906 and 1910, which present a typical mix of
Cunninghame Graham's stories set in widely separated locations and
drawing on his vast experience of life in different classes of
human society. The stories are suffused with Cunninghame Graham's
striking blend of the elegiac mood and unsentimental realism. "All
that we write is but a bringing forth again of something we have
seen or heard about. What makes it art is but the handling of it,
and the imagination that is brought to bear upon the theme out of
the writer's brain. It follows therefore that all writing, as I
said before, brings sorrow in its train.....To record, even to
record emotions, is to store up a fund of sadness, and that is why
all writing is a sort of icehouse of the mind.... (Faith, Preface).
