      About This Book

      Iain Crichton Smith collects here what he regards as the best of his shorter fiction, drawing on his popular earlier collections Survival Without Error, The Village, The Black and the Red, Murdo and Other Stories & Mr Trill and Other Stories, and adding previously uncollected pieces. Exile and the return from exile, the poverty of places, old age and its consequences, gossip, ghosts, weddings: these are among the images and themes of the stories remarkable for their vivid, straight-forward approach, always acute in the portrayal of character and situation, each story whole and memorable.
