It’s a story in which little happens, and yet so much happens. I’m not a religious person, but this is so beautifully written and warm, that I went along with it. He finds peace and comfort there from a painting in a church of the long dead Santa Emilia – with whom he has a dialogue. ‘A Carnation for an Old Man.’ An ailing brother and his two sisters stay in Seville for a few days. Here are the five stories that I gave more than six marks to (in order of appearance):.
In my own little marking system, I have never given so many stories in one collection a score of five or six out of ten – meaning that I found them fine, but just short of the mark where I can say that I enjoyed them enough to recommend. On the negative side however is the fact that they are mostly very slight pleasing when being read, but thin on plot and event and sadly, for me, soon forgotten.
Originally published in 1933, the collection is made up of sixteen short stories none of which I would say are bad. Most are in fact very gentle, pleasing, beautifully written character pieces - best read on a hot summer’s day, sheltered beneath a tree. If you have kids, you’ll help them ease into sleep by reading to them with a book light instead of a bright lamp or ceiling light.For a book that's often lumped in with Walpole’s horror output, there are actually very few horror stories here. Beyond using it for bedtime reading, you can rely a book light to provide a little extra light when you’re knitting or cross-stitching, crafting, working on your car, or using a laptop that doesn’t have a lighted keyboard. You have two main options for book lights: One type clips to your book, while the other hangs around your neck (comfortably!). Best neck light for travel: Luxjet Hug Light, $22.
