Athalinthia: Seven Stories by W. A. Dwiggins
An absolutely brilliantly designed and produced edition of Dwiggins' Athalinthia stories. All credit to Bruce Kennett for making this beautiful volume happen and for paying so much attention to the little details that make a book a delight to hold in your hand as well as to read. The stories are delightful, too.
Enjoyed this book, Dwiggins was clearly having fun while he imparted his gathered wisdom. i tend to prefer when the author is having fun.
Kind of a cool story about soldiers mobilizing at the end of a battle. Very short.
