I am disappointed that I have only 2 of this series
Having rad both, will be looking for more
Cork may be portrayed as almost omnipresent/ omnipowerful, and hence is not "naturalistic" but with only a little suspension of belief, is one of the most interesting characters i have come across
Having said tha it is another early 20th century depiction...I wonder why I like that era so much given I was borne in the second half of that century
perhaps it is in part because it is not today / and contains human features and none of the internet/ personal devices etc !
