The Complete Short Stories

3.99 (1,055 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Evelyn Waugh

In this unique collection of short stories composed between 1910-62, Evelyn Waugh's early juvenilia are brought together with later pieces, some of which became the inspirations for his novels. 'Mr Loveday's Little Outing' is a blackly comic tale of a mental asylum and its favourite resident; 'Cruise' sees a hilarious series of letters from a naïve young woman as she travels with her family; 'A House of Gentlefolks' observes a group of elderly eccentric aristocrats and their young heir; and in 'The Sympathetic Passenger' a radio-loathing retiree picks up exactly the wrong hitchhiker. These witty and immaculately crafted stories display the finest writing of a master of satire and comic twists. See more

About Evelyn Waugh

Evelyn Waugh was born in Hampstead in 1903 and educated at Hertford College Oxford. In 1928 he published his first novel Decline and Fall which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930) Black Mischief (1932) A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). During these years he also travelled extensively and converted to Catholicism. In 1939 Waugh was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards experiences which informed his Sword of Honour trilogy (1952-61). His most famous novel Brideshead Revisited (1945) was written while on leave from the army. Waugh died in 1966.
