Two stories from one of the 19th century's bestselling novelists.
A wine enthusiast is excited at the prospect of inheriting the contents of his late uncle's cellar, one of the finest in London, only to discover that his aunt has altogether different plans for the precious bottles and crates.
Capital Wine is a genial comedy that will amuse both wine buffs and teetotallers alike.
A wife discovers a confessional letter from her recently deceased husband, the contents of which reveal a long-kept secret that will open up old wounds and may change her opinion of him forever.
At What Cost is the story of a tragic love triangle, reminiscent of Embers by Sandor Marai or, in places, The Great Gatsby, both of which it preceded by several decades.
The two tales collected in this volume display very different sides of Hugh Conway, a hugely popular writer in his time who is now, sadly, largely forgotten.
Part of the Very Short Classics series, a collection of short books from around the world, and across the centuries, many of which are being made available as ebooks for the very first time.
