Official synopsis Publisher
The greatest English comic novelist of the twentieth century produced a considerable body of shorter fiction, including several masterpieces, notably Mr Loveday’s Little Outing and Scott-King’s Modern Europe. These stories have all Waugh’s characteristically brilliant, savage wit and reproduce his unmistakeable world in miniature. They also constitute a vital supplement to the major novels, while standing up as significant works in their own right.
Two chapters of Waugh’s tantalizingly unfinished novel Work Suspended are also included.
This edition brings back into print 17 stories that have long been unavailable in England and America.
