Description

Miss Vera Brittain and her co-editor have collected the very best of Winifred Holtby's short stories. The mass of material available offered enough to make three or four volumes, but they have taken only the pick to make this brilliant and brilliantly entertaining book. Laughter and tragedy, charity and satire, weave in and out of the pages. The Anderby of the title piece is the Yorkshire village which was the scene of Winifred Holtby's first novel Anderby Wold, and many of the other tales are set in the wider Yorkshire of which she wrote in South Riding. --Book jacket
