Summary
(From the publisher):
The stories in this book, all written between 1929 and 1954, share the themes that feature so strongly in Graham Greene’s novels: humour and violence, pity and hatred, betrayal and pursuit. Comic, sad, shocking and tragic, they recount the tales of Mr. Maling’s loud stomach, destructive gangs of children, indiscretions revealed and secrets uncovered.
