The scene is the same through-out: the upstate village of Arcadia during the years of 1912 through 1918, and many of the same characters appear from story to story so that the collection has a unity. Arcadia, the scene of these stories, is a village that exists only in the author?s imagination; so is the summer place called Parson?s Point; so are all the characters described in these stories, whether told in the first person or in the third. The stories themselves, including all details related therein, are invented. They range however from hilarity to horror and back again.* A NEAR VG+ text copy of the 1st thus with some minor faults but no dust jacket.*
