EVELYN WAUGH - GEBRAUCHT THE COMPLETE SHORT STO...

In this unique collection of short stories composed between 1910-62  Evelyn Waugh's early
juvenilia are brought together with later pieces  some of which became the inspirations for his
novels. 'Mr Loveday's Little Outing' is a blackly comic tale of a mental asylum and its
favourite resident  'Cruise' sees a hilarious series of letters from a naïve young woman as she
travels with her family  'A House of Gentlefolks' observes a group of elderly eccentric
aristocrats and their young heir  and in 'The Sympathetic Passenger' a radio-loathing retiree
picks up exactly the wrong hitchhiker. These witty and immaculately crafted stories display the
finest writing of a master of satire and comic twists.
