Bates's first short story collection published in 1928 when he was just 23, depicts the rural lives of quirky characters cast in his distinctive, beautifully drawn style.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Each story has a youthful quality, intimate and often profound, perfectly demonstrating the progression of this masterful wordsmith. Bates explores bittersweet young love in 'The Birthday', the delightful reflections of a man spellbound by the sounds of the sea and the breathing of his new baby in 'The Holiday', and two old friends in 'Fishing', described by David Garnett as a tale that \"could hardly be shorter and could hardly be slighter, but it is a complete and perfect little work of art, full of humour and containing a profound reflection on human life.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This edition of \u003ci\u003eDay's End and Other Stories, \u003c\/i\u003e published by Bloomsbury Reader to celebrate H.
