Forever Good Writing

This collection of stories and poems is truly worthwhile. It is not often I give five stars to a book, but this deserves it. The stories reveal a society and culture, both English and Indian, that is past and takes some knowledge of history to really understand. Some are sad, some are happy, and at the end he writes a biography that gives a lot of information about stories included and not included. It reminded me of Isaac Asimov and his tendency to personalize his stories with little vignettes. This is one grand book.
