Good book of short stories, well worth a read. Thank manybooks.net!

One of the better books I've ever encountered. VERY highly recommended. Action, romance, history--it's all here, woven masterfully and spellbindingly together. I don't understand why this author is so grossly under-recognized--he was that good. This piece, for instance, easily surpasses more than one of Josef Conrad's--and he was a good writer, widely read.

An enjoyable read of stories, some quite short and others less so, of England--particularly the duchy of Cornwall, in the southwest--in earlier centuries. Most presented in the first persons of various characters, to varying ends; some droll, some mildly spooky; on the whole, quite entertaining and recommended for all ages.

EXCELLENT, most enjoyable read! I highly recommend it.

Interesting action and adventure, but more than half the book is 1900 +/- British dialogue--too much for me.

Very nice, and large, collection of short stories, most of them set in Cornwall between 1840 and 1900.

The best read I've had in a long time. Highly recommended. Thank you, manybooks.net!

A rather nice collection of short stories, varying in setting from the English civil war (Cromwell & Charles I) to the turn of the 20th century. An entertaining read.

I'm not much on these books of town gossip; I think this the first I've ever finished--says something for the writer and the story he wove. Give it a try, you might like it.

Good book! Though I think I've enjoyed some others by this author even more. He's good, very good!

Sure do thank manybooks.net for making his collection available!
