Description

Reading the stories of Somerset Maugham is rather like curling up and up listening to the delicious, risqué tales of an old, dear and rather wicked friend. You turn the pages and enter a magical world of fabulous characters, are transported to the very place, the villa, the street, the bar, of which he writes.

This Macmillan Collector’s Library selection features ten of his finest and most vivid stories: ‘The Letter’, ‘The Verger’, ‘The Vessel of Wrath’, ‘The Book-Bag’, ‘The Facts of Life’, ‘Lord Mountdrago’, ‘The Colonel’s Lady’, ‘The Treasure’, ‘Rain’ and ‘P&O’.

This elegant edition of W. Somerset Maugham’s Best Short Stories features an afterword by writer and journalist Ned Halley.

Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector’s Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector’s Library are books to love and treasure.
