Review: “Such a strong,, clear and always eminently civilized voice. I admired and enjoyed them very much indeed—rereading old favorites (especially All Right, which I have always thought a wonderful , deeply moving story), and discovering new ones with much pleasure.” Alice Adams, Author of Superior Woman and Second Chances
“Blair Fuller’s short stories and novellas…have surfaced through the years into recognition as among the best examples of their craft in modern letters…they all have the stamp of absolute originality and impeccable craftsmanship. A book for all seasons and a literary event of major importance.” Niven Busch, Author of Duel In The Sun and Continent’s Edge
“What a welcome sight this is! The moving stories are beautifully rendered, and Fuller’s longer work, A Butterfly Net and a Kingdom, is a classic. It’s the nearest thing I’ve seen to a forty-page novel, with remarkable complexity and texture. The characters are fascinating, caught up not only in the historical flesh. It’s a marvelous achievement and a delight to read.” George Cuomo, Author of Among Thieves
“In these fine stories Blair Fuller displays a mastery in conjuring up the vivid and persuasive scene, whether it be an up-country African village or the New England of his childhood. …there is a sincerity in the telling of these stories which provides us with a distinctive sense of recognition and of revelation about the human experience.” John Leggett, Author of Ross and Tom and Making Believe
