This volume contains all John Collier's short stories not found in Fancies and Goodnights. Playful and wickedly mischievous, these short stories will reappear in your memory, and make you smile, or laugh, or sigh, long after the title and author are forgotten. Talking gorillas posing as writers, hairy fiends dressed as parsons, angels and devils invading the human realm, tricks and turns, a murder committed with chocolates, an unforgettable, dreadful cat, and a love story as beautiful as a symphony are all included in this collection of John Collier's brilliantly structured and perfectly crafted tales.
