(4,75 Sterne; 2 Bewertungen)

Walter de la Mare has entertained generations with his lyrical and fantastical stories of lost childhood and the magic hidden within plain sight. At times, these themes manifest as psychologically complex tales of faith and regret. At other times, they manifest as something more dream-like and ethereal, wispy bits of rich prose swirling through the fingers and twisting into the air. And then there are times where they manifest as something darker and more sinister, preying upon the frayed edges of childhood where things hide that can hurt you. Join us in this first collection of Walter de la Mare's stories as we immerse ourselves in a feast of bygone hopes and false nostalgia. - Summary by Ben Tucker (8 hr 49 min)
