Summary

A young woman’s visit to Europe is captured through a series of letters that reveal the cultural clashes and social observations of an American abroad. James uses the epistolary format to provide a multi-perspective look at the nuances of international manners and romantic entanglements. The subtle shifts in tone and perception highlight the psychological depth of the characters as they navigate high society. This clever narrative experiment serves as an early study of the author's signature themes.

Available since: 03/06/2026.

Print length: 56 pages.

Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
 
Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
 
In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
 
These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Beside a still lake in the land of Mnar stood Ib, a city of grey stone as old as the lake itself, inhabited by beings that were not men. When the shepherd folk came and raised Sarnath a league away, they looked upon their neighbours with loathing, and one night they destroyed them utterly, sparing only the green idol of the water lizard Bokrug. 
 
That night the idol vanished, and the high priest was found dead with a single word scrawled upon the altar. 
 
A thousand years passed. Sarnath grew into the wonder of the world, its marble towers rising above the plain, its wealth beyond counting. On the anniversary of the slaughter the city held its greatest feast, and the nobles of a hundred lands came to celebrate. 
 
That was the night the mists rose from the lake. 
 
A Dunsanian fable of vengeance and vanished empires, told in the cadence of scripture.
