Greatest Stories

This had been a very old book in my shelf. The short chronicles are arranged as
Hostage to Momus
The Gift of the Magi
Telemachus, Friend
A Ramble in Aphasia
The Passing of Black Eagle
The Shamrock and the Palm
Jeff Peters as a Personal Magnet
Past One at Rooney’s
The Princess and the Puma
The Moment of Victory
The Atavism of John Tom Little Bear
The Brief Debut of Tildy
The cop and the Anthem
The Last of the Troubadours
The Memento
A Ruler of Men
The Man Higher Up
A Municipal Report
Going thru the signature twists in the plots in each of them brought back the enjoyment in the fullest. It seemed that age has ripened the flavour even more. It is not that these all commence in comedies but tragedies too had been wrapped up in such a pleasant ambience that it steals a moment to contemplate whether to lament or laugh. The collection inspires a promising vacuum to be satisfied by a host of similar others.
