Pritchett said himself that the short story was 'above all, a memorable art', and here he presents a series of unforgettable pictures brimming with all of his characteristic vivacity and deepened by a compassionate understanding of the predicaments into which people are led by accident, by an hour of folly, or by ingrained habits of mind.
