Habeas Corpus and Other Stories

About this book

"Not for a long time, we believe, has such a brilliant and compellingly readable collection of stories appeared as Peter Green's Habeas Corpus. The eight stories which the well-known novelist and critic has assembled here range over such varied subjects as the disastrous effects of a lost passport, the idiosyncrasies of an expert of Greek dialects, a visit to a haunted rectory, and the mouvemente evening of a Great Lady of the entertainment world on a Burma airfield." --from the book jacket copy
