It contains fifteen tales never before published in this country except in the Collected Stories, which is out of print. The Nobel Prize-winner for 1949, Mr. Faulkner is one of the few great imaginative writers now living. His short stories won the American National Book Award for the most distinguished work of fiction published in 1950. The Times Literary Supplement spoke of "the passionate dramatic sense and the conception of humanity's grandeur that informs the tales" and the Sunday Times reviewer wrote, "Faulkner, for me, still holds dominion over swamp and cotton gin, canebrake and barn. His people - are Faulkner to the last fibre. It is a magnificent exhibition of virtuosity."'
