    About this audiobook

    The short stories were written during and about World War, I am often overshadowed by the excellent verse of the War Poets.

    Yet the short story is perhaps their equal in other ways. Within these succinct little time capsules of words are captured ideas, attitudes, feelings, and life that is expressed in a few pages just as movingly, imaginatively, and tellingly as in any other form.

    Some of these stories will be familiar but some may not. From Virginia Woolf to Katharine Mansfield and John Buchan to C. E. Montague various writing styles try to make sense of this world at war.

    Some may do so directly and some obliquely. Some speak of class others of the masses but all reveal their author’s intent and their mastery of war and its effects and consequences upon the human condition as told through their words.
