Miss Winchelsea's Heart...

H. G. Wells

His work also included two books on recreational war games.

Stephen Crane

Told in spare, evocative prose, A Dark Brown Dog is more than it appears — a fable with no moral, a friendship with no promise, a home with no safety.
You may not be sure where the pain ends and the loyalty begins.
But you will know you've seen something true.
