About This Book
Michael Arlen wrote of the fast set of Mayfair and Belgravia, those who were to be termed the Lost Generation. His characters are doomed young war heroes still hungering for excitement, newly emboldened and abandoned heroines, raffish cads, and outcasts from convention. His characters are disillusioned, cynical, and witty, but these stories also include elements of fantasy and horrors hallmark.ContentsThe Ancient Sin • short story by Michael ArlenCavalier of the Streets • short fiction by Michael ArlenConsuelo Brown • short fiction by Michael ArlenHunter After Wild Beasts • short fiction by Mi...
