Collected stories - Alun Lewis

Lewis emerged as a story writer of maturity during WWII. His first collection, The Last Inspection, was published in 1942; his later stories were collected posthumously in The Green Tree in 1948. Often anthologized, these have been unavailable for over forty years, though his poems have been reprinted. This contains all of the stories from these two books, as well as all those published in magazines since 1929. Seven unpublished stories are also included from more than forty left in manuscript form. His work bears comparison with that of Katherine Mansfield and Dylan Thomas.
