CLASSIC SUMMER STORIES (COLLECTORS LIBRARY) (HB)

In this collection two strangers embark on a feverish, dreamlike encounter abroad in Algernon Blackwood's 'The Olive'. A man meets his first love in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Between Two Planes'. Willa Cather writes of sunset island explorations, and Virginia Woolf depicts a drowsy garden nap. Yet summer idylls can be shattered: there's a deadly fishing quarrel from Guy de Maupassant, a touch of malevolent fairy magic from Selma Lagerloef, and Sherlock Holmes finding himself under pressure to solve an unsettling murder on the Cornish coast.
