An entertaining and enjoyable read...

awesome writing. a pure pleasure. I read a wedding gift and fatal gesture in a collection of stories. both were delightful. the protagonist has a Walter mitty-esque quality. the scenarios remind me a bit of Edith Wharton stories.

Okay. Light. Mildly entertaining and funny.

Classic style writing tends to make this collection of stories seem "dated", but the timeless themes, dry wit and entertaining wordplay make this a must read. The stories are short, draw you in quickly and leave you wanting more.

Fun book for the wife of a fly fishing addict to read. Fortunately one treated much better than Mr. Potter's!
