The Wedding Party

London: Michael Joseph, 1965.

Thirteen stories, including two about Uncle Silas.

Kay Dick, in The Sunday Times, writes of the stories that 'each one is a beautifully created entity, beautiful in the sense that a perfectly balanced table is, without any superfluous ornamentation — the trade-mark of a master-craftsman.'
