- "During his life Housman was best known for his plays and for several volumes of fantasy and sf stories, including [list of five, 1897 to 1952]". --SFE3 biographical entry by John Clute This is fourth-published of the five. It is implied that these five comprise stories clearly for adults in contrast to A Farm in Fairyland (1894) and some other collections. (Four published 1894 to 1904 are covered in The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, eds. Clute and Grant.)
