Wessex Tales (Thomas Hardy)

Thomas Hardy
Wessex Tales



A series of short stories showcasing the best of Hardy's humour, fondness for the common man and with his usual insight into our needs, wants, foibles and anxieties. Hardy's women come through particularly strongly in some of these stories and indeed the last story has an alternative ending suggested that Hardy would have preferred except that literary form insisted on the original. As always, readable, interesting and compelling.
