Twenty-One StoriesIn 'The Basement Room' a small boy witnesses an event that blights his whole life. Like the other stories in this book (written between 1929 and 1954), it hinges on the themes that dominate Graham Greene's novels fear, pity and violence, pursuit, betrayal and man's restless search for salvation. Some of the stories are comic poor Mr Maling's stomach mysteriously broadcasts all sorts of sounds; others are wryly sad a youthful indiscretion catches up

In 'The Basement Room' a small boy witnesses an event that blights his whole life. Like the other stories in this book (written between 1929 and 1954), it hinges on the themes that dominate Graham Greene's novels--fear, pity and violence, pursuit, betrayal and man's restless search for salvation. Some of the stories are comic--poor Mr Maling's stomach mysteriously broadcasts all sorts of sounds; others are wryly sad--a youthful indiscretion catches up with Mr Carter in 'The Blue Film'. They can be deeply shocking: in 'The Destructors' a gang of children systematically destroys a man's house. Yet others are hauntingly tragic--a strange relationship between twins that reaches its climax at a children's party. Whatever the mood, each one is a compelling entertainment and unmistakably the work of one of the finest storytellers of the century.

not tight around your legs
Nice socks. They are thin and light weight so they are ideal to wear with snug fitting shoes. They have a nice cable style design to dress them up. I have been wearing a pair all day, and they do not dig into my legs at all. Love that. I have not washed them, but I see no reason why they would not wash up well in cold water and a low dry temperature. The price is great so give them a try.

Nice ruffle socks
First of all, I like the thickness of these ruffle socks. They are not too heavy nor too thin, making them ideal for all seasons wearing. The ruffle edges make the socks unique and beautiful. The quality feels quite good. I like the socks in six different color, all of them are beautiful.

Cute, very breathable material
These socks are super cute and comfy. I love the material-- it's light and very breathable. The ruffles are so cute. I think these socks work great with ankle-high boots or chunky sneakers.
