And this book is just such a collection. Some of the stories I do not want to remain buried for ever in the museum fdes of dead magazine-numbers - an author's not unpardonable vanity; others I have resuscitated from the same vaults in the hope that they still may please you. The title of a volume of short stories is always a difficult matter. It ought to indicate frankly the nature of the book so that the unwary purchaser shall have no grievance (except on the score of merit, which is a different affair altogether) against either author or publisher. In my title I have tried to solve the problem. But why Far-away? Well, the stories cover a long stretch of years, and all, save one, were written in calm days far-away from the present convulsion of the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735016415505,"sku":"NGR9781594623448","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1594623449.jpg?v=1751374683"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-j-locke-william-j-locke.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
