When one thinks of fear, terrors in the night creeping upon you may come to mind. L. P. Hartley does feature some of these kinds of fears. In addition, Hartley delves into characters with societal fears, social anxieties. People who live in fear of saying or doing the wrong thing, feeling uneasy in their own skin. We witness the fear of death that comes for all of us, some earlier than others. L. P. Hartley brings us these fears with a satisfyingly musical prose and a sly sense of dry wit that will leave one absorbed in these tales late into the evening. (Summary by Ben Tucker)
