Renowned as a playwright and 'man of the theatre',Noel Coward was also an accomplished writer of prose fiction.When he compiled his Collected Short Stories in 1962,he still had a decade of writing ahead of him.During this time he published two more books of short stories,a genre he clearly warmed to in the last years of his life.That is why there can be this second volume of Collected Short Stories, published together for the first time and destined to sit beside the original volume
(re-issued in 1983) to make a truly complete collection.This volume contains all seven of the later stories,'Pretty Polly Barlow','Me and the Girls','Mrs Capper's Birthday','Solali','Mrs Ebony', 'Penny Dreadful',and 'Bon Voyage',plus two early stories: 'The Wooden Madonna', omitted from the first collection and 'Theatre Party',appearing in print for the first time.These stories - some of them long enough to rank as short novels - will delight new readers and refresh fond memories for those who have already made their acquaintance.
