Complete Short Stories

Ronald Firbank. Dalkey Archive Press, $9.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-916583-61-3

According to PW , ``These entertaining vignettes, written between 1903 and 1908, are mosaics of fantasy, comedy and poetry that provide clues to Firbank's literary development, his influence on Waugh and Huxley, and the continuation of literary decadence and aestheticism into the 20th century.''
