O tej książce

On the theme of love a second great collection of romantic short stories from yesteryear read by another husband and wife team Edward fox and Joanna David. LOVE is a staple theme of many short stories and in this second offbeat selection from CSA it comes in mini guises. There is love tragically thwarted by duty in Thomas Hardy’s The Son’s Veto; the thankless love of a jilted Burmese wife and Georgie Porgie by Kipling; blind love set in victorian theater-land in The Patch on the Quilt by Sapper; love with a happy ending in the comic yarn about a cockney couple’s unlikely reunion in For Better or Worse by WW. Jacobs; and in John Galworthy’s Spindleberries a love of something far more mystical than that of mere humankind. Five classic examples of romantic fiction written by five great story-tellers of the late 19th and early 20th century and excellently interpreted by husband and wife team, Joanna David and Edward Fox.
