'Where Lay May Homeward Path,' selected stories by Edward Thomas

Edward Thomas has been revered for over a century as one of England's greatest poets. His fiction, however, has been almost forgotten. This revelatory collection reveals ghost-haunted landscapes, brutal slivers of country life, richly-drawn pen portraits and even a touching ode to a fondly remembered dog. Powerful and compelling, these short stories possess the same sublime beauty as the author's nature writing and poetry. The book is, as writer Irfan Shah describes it in the Introduction, 'a rattlebag of brilliant instances'. 'Where Lay My Homeward Path' is set to be one of the surprises of the year.
