A wonderful range of stories. Although it covers a fairly short 25-year period there's a real change over this time - the stories from 1890 couldn't have been written in 1914 and vice versa. Inevitably some will be more to individuals' taste than others - I couldn't get on with Beerbohm and loved the Mansfield, others may feel the reverse, but it's great to get the sweep of styles. Introductory essay is superb too. Also a really handsome volume, even more so than the previous ones - but, and it became a major irritation especially in what ought to be so aesthetically pleasing a book, I have never, never read a book with so many typos, one every few pages.
