[F. · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a great collection of stories but unfortunately let down by inadequate proofreading and editing at times.

[Sem · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some beautiful stories in this collection and some humdrum stories but all written with Mayne's ear for rhythm and language. Worthwhile reading for anyone interested in London folklore.
