The short stories here are unique from each other and are individually longer than I expected. All of the stories are very good and very excellently narrated by Mr. Wales. In fact, I cannot say enough about how perfect the narration fits the melancholy themes of each tale. I’m a new fan of John Galsworthy and David Wales. Excellent!
Very Interesting

Not all the stories were my cup of tea however, I did enjoy many of them.
