4.0 out of 5 stars
An insightful treasure-trove,
By
This review is from: Work Suspended and Other Stories (Penguin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
I've been collecting and reading the works of Waugh, and found this collection most intriguing. Some are fancies, others more heavyweight. Particularly touching is 'Bella Fleace Gave a Party'. 'Charles Ryder's Schooldays' do not offer much of an insight into Charles Ryder as found in 'Brideshead Revisited', but are remarkable for betraying Waugh's experiences at Lancing College.
All are typical of Waugh's wonderful way with words, and will bring great delight to anyone who enjoys the English language. Mr Loveday's Little Outing"; "Cruise"; "Period Piece"; "On Guard"; "An Englishman's Home"; "Excursion in Reality"; "Bella Fleace Gave a Party"; "Winner Takes All"; "Work Suspended"; "Scott-King's Modern Europe"; "Basil Seal Rides Again"; and "Charles Ryder's Schooldays".

Lovely light reading for holidays!,
This review is from: Work Suspended and Other Stories (Penguin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
I had recently read "A Handful of Dust" by Evelyn Waugh (which I would also recommend) and heard about this book of short stories on a recent radio book programme and it came highly recommended. It is an excellent book and very funny - give it a try!
