“This selection of short stories represents the author at the high level of maturity she reached in The Ballad and the Source. They vary in length but not in quality. Diverse in theme and setting, they are linked by Miss Lehmann’s perhaps unique talent for observing the world of adults through the solemn sensitive eyes of childhood and adolescence.”
“This writing is truth. It is beautiful and brilliant and touched with that wistful melancholy which hangs so hauntingly about all Miss Lehmann’s books.” Monica Dickens
