Half A Minute's Silence AND OTHER STORIES.

Item Details

Description

FIRST EDITION. Publishers brown cloth with gilt vignette. Gilt title to spine. Name on inside. Dedicated to Michael and Sydney, "who in Paris in 1899 were a good audience for stories". The Times Literary Supplement reflects on the author's "mood of gossamer romancing": "'The Flute of Chang Liang,' in particular, is one of those dreamy and poetic evocations for which Mr. Baring has so peculiar a talent. It is simply the suggestion of how, in bivouac, he heard the flute of the legendary Chinese player who stole the hearts of 8,000 soldiers by calling up the memories of their homes, and made them leave the battlefield." A very lovely copy.
