Description: "De la Mare's earliest published works were stories, and he continued writing and re-writing stories throughout the rest of his life. There was always a creative counterpoint between the themes and imagery of his prose and his poetry - such as the dream, childhood, the house, night, love lost and love regained, solitude and the traveller. A full understanding of either is impossible without knowledge of both. The stories also have a special concern with psychology, personal relationships, perception, alienation, the absurd and the supernatural."--BOOK JACKET.
