Ensign Knightley and Other Stories (1901)
by A. E. W. Mason

New York: Frederick A. Stokes Co., 1901.

Mr. Mason's long stories had hardly prepared us for the particular excellence of this volume. [...] he is wont to deal in brief with rather complicated themes—but the sense of strain is never too obvious. Adventure is the dominant note in them, but not merely the adventure of sword and gun; and the workmanship, the play of motive and character, place them entirely outside the range of schoolboy literature. —Extract from the review in The Bookman September 1901. full review(s) in the Discussion page.
