Reader's note

“I hope this introduction will not be too sentimental. My brother Herbert had a strong vein of sentiment in him, which I think is a good thing, but he never allowed his sentiment to rule him or dislodge his mature judgements - and that, I think, is a better thing. Upon the foundation of this earlier enthusiasms, many of which I was fortunate enough to share with him, he built his sound and happy philosophy, and he avoided in his critical and more serious work - with which this volume has no concern - the nostalgic pitfalls into which so many sentimentalists (myself included) fall.” Herbert Farjeon’s collection of fictitious and real stories and poems - lovingly curated by his brother - is a one of a kind vintage gift. This is a perfect opportunity to grab it for yourself or a loved one!
