Wessex Tales – ebook

Wessex Tales contains seven stories, the first two of which are really very short – the rest are much longer.

John Cornelius – ebook
Hugh Walpole
This is a story about the life of a genius who has only dreams. But really make dreams a reality? After all, this is not a fantasy world. Walpole wrote mainly about a character whose life was never very real, and who could not find happiness, except in strange moments because of this abyss between him and the world. Walpole’s romantic flights have a realistic break to temper them.Data dostępności:

The Angel of Pain – ebook
E.F. Benson
This early work is a novel by Edward Frederick Benson. The author focuses on an unusual landscape. Sometimes it refuses to reality and we can see really something fantastic. In this story, only well-provided people will be able to survive in the conditions in which the author put them. And what about those who are just „trying to stand up”? Many questions, but as always few answers.Data dostępności:

The Babe, B.A. – ebook
E.F. Benson
The story „Babe, B. A.” contains a large amount of wit, brightness and a sharp charm. All characters have a strong family resemblance to each other.

He faced the criminal world. He has a choice: to betray his friend or not.Data dostępności:
