In this unique collection of short stories composed between 1910-62, Evelyn
Waugh's early juvenilia are brought together with later pieces, some of which
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 naïve 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.
