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.'
