Description

The Collected Tales of A. E. Coppard

Thirty-eight of the two hundred tales A. E. Coppard wrote between 1921 and 1938 have been chosen by the author for this definitive volume. The rich harvest includes many of the best from Adam and Eve and Pinch Me, Clorinda Walks in Heaven, The Black Dog, Fishmonger's Fiddle, The Field of Mustard, Sliver Circus, and other volumes. Coppard has long been recognized as a great master of the story, but perhaps the range and variety of his work has never been as fully demonstrated. Here are tales of the supernatural, humour and earthy yarns, fantasies, anecdotes, and full-bodied realistic stories often of an almost unmatched poignancy. All are done with a mastery of word and image that, at its best, becomes magical.
