Collected Short Stories brings together thirty stories by Robert Graves, written between 1924 and 1962. The collection ranges across English, Roman and Majorcan settings, with Graves’s characteristic blend of literary wit, autobiography, mythic atmosphere and historical imagination. The stories include strange, comic and unsettling pieces, many of which Graves presented as being based on true events, however improbable they may seem.
