In my high school days, Middle
and Upper School 'English students
• had, as one text, tt, volnnrie called
."Short Stories and Essays." It was
good literature, but, at the time, I
found, some 'of th selections very
dull. "Seaton's 'Aunt," a short !story
by Walter de la Mare, did not fall
into that category. I think it was
the first short story that really
gripped me, A delicious chill runs.
down my spine, even yet, as I recall
the devices used to create the
horrifying suspense. Shortly after
that I Was given a dopy of "The
Complete Short Stories of 'Saki'."
That was my downfall. I have been
addicted to a good short story ever
since.
Two weeks ago I picked up two
collections at 'the library. They are:
HEAVEN IN YOUR HANDS
by Norah Lofts
and
vices are smoking and collecting
old furniture. In low mernents,
especially when I have once more
taken the wrong change, or made
a worse mend that usual, I re.
mind myself that my hooks are
now translated into eleven langu-
ages. But, on the whole, I'm humble,
whichi I hate."o A delightful person? I th
Gerald Bullett's tales are all set
in England, both rural and urban.
He presents a wide variety of char-
acters, almost all adult, They are
deceivingly simple tales, with awry
twist at the end that brings a jerk
of surprise, pleasure or even horror,
A fth of them deal with the occult,
For me these have a peculiar 4P-
peal* I do not wholly accept the
theories but they give food for
wonder, One of the longer stories
in this 'book—of which there arc
six ."Dearth's Farm" smacks of
Daphne du Meunier, In 'that one, of
her favourite and chilling themes
is the transposition of animal and
human characteristics. The shorter
stories have the quality of an anec-
dote in their fiendish cleverness.
North Lofts is more subjective
and warm in her treatment of 'per-
sons. Male writers tend to be more
arialytical and withdrawn, Women's
hearts have a disconcerting, habit
of popping into .their writing. The
title story of this book, "Heaven in
Your Hand", is about a, child—and
she enters right into the world of
childhood. Her characters are more
varied than Gerald Bullett's. She
slips 'with 'facile reality from one
social stratum to another and
moves easily from England 'to the
I West Indies, Europe, Africa and
South America. There is little ex-
act delineation of face or figure
but a living person is evoked
skilfully. The stories vary in length.
Some in their compactness contain
material that more diffuse writers
would spin into a novel.
The chief advantage of a short
story over a novel is that the whale
tale can be read in mere snatch6s
of time. With a novel the plot
must be frequently pigeon-holed
for future leisure. In this day and
,age, the enjoyment of a short story
is a good taste to acquire. Both
these' books provide - entertainment
and are well-written and thought-
-provoking.
