Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The cream of the legendary word-smith's stories, in a low-priced edition.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal

With these volumes, New Directions launches its new "Bibelots" series. The purpose of the "Bibelots" is to reprint small sections from existing titles by prestigious authors at a reasonable price. Firbank's Caprice first appeared in Three More Novels , Miller's Devil was gleaned from 1957's Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus , and the Thomas shorts were lifted from a larger Collected Stories anthology. For academic and public libraries specializing in hardcore literature, particularly those needing multiple copies, the "Bibelots" series offers an affordable alternative to the higher-priced full texts. Recommended accordingly.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I , in my intricate image...", July 9, 2001

This review is from: Eight Stories (The New Directions Bibelots - Includes: The End of The River, The School for Witches, The Peaches, Just Like Little Dogs, Old Garbo, One Warm Saturday, Plenty of Furniture, The Followers) (Paperback)

It started with his poetry when I was in high school. Imediately, I was spellbound. Then I found this collection of short stories. I cannot stop reading. I love every aspect of his "craft or sullen art." When I read his works, I feel a kind of longing and comfort. The stories in this collection were taken from books that were already published, and after reading these stories, I want to read everything Dylan Thomas ever wrote. When I see his picture, I sense a bond between him and I. I see the little boy, I see the young man; I know them. Dylan Thomas' type of writing is something all writers want to achieve. His words are completely private and honest. He is an imortal legacy.
