Boats, beaches, magic, mysteries and more abound in this sun-drenched collection of summer stories.
This is the perfect collection to dip into on a hot summer's day. Virginia Woolf presents us with a balmy summer evening; Algernon Blackwood takes us on holiday to the Italian Riviera; and E. M. Delafield shows us a lovely vignette of domestic life.
But even on these bright summer days, there is darkness to be found. Tragedy strikes in a lyrical story by Edward Thomas; Thomas Hardy writes about a housewife who suffers heartbreak in a seaside house; and Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes and Watson investigate a crime while on holiday in Cornwall.
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics with ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is edited and introduced by Becky Brown.
