Any reader of this engaging and often illuminating collection of stories will probably find that he not only agrees with J. F. Hendry's wide definition, but is also happily surprised by the broad spectrum of writing it opens up for him. From the pathos of Margaret Hamilton's 'Choice', through the stark horror of 'Vocation', to the straight and startling fantasy of Eric Linklater's 'Sealskin Trousers' and the broad comedy of 'A Trifle Unnecessary', this is in the truest sense an anthology, comprising writers of both established and comparatively little known. What they share is a freshness of approach and an unsentimental view that well justify the inclusion of each, whatever the subject matter, in this characteristically Scottish collection.
