The stories were published between July 1921 and June 1922. Yup, 100 years ago. I find it interesting the different story lines, descriptions of surroundings and activities from earlier, and later, eras. These stories were published in various publications such as “The Strand,” The English Review,” “The Dial” and more.
They are vignettes of life at the time: people going through life and dealing with situations, good, bad and humorous.
The first one is titled “Where Was Wych Street?” Four men and a woman are sitting in the Wagtail in Wapping, discussing the recent death of a local. During the conversation, mention was made about Wych Street. Each person claims to have had personal dealings on or about the street. Interesting thing was each person had a different view of where the street had been located and what it was like.
Another is “The Bat and Belfry Inn.” A couple is touring North Wales and comes across a little picturesque hotel with a beautiful view of the valley. They stop for tea and to decide if they want to spend a few days there. What they find is a charming hotel with a staff comprised of some very strange characters. All is not what it seems.
Some stories are humorous and are sad, but all are interesting. It was enjoyable reading work by different authors under one cover.… (mere)
