This book collects four fiction short-stories from Graham Greene.
Under the Garden I have read a couple of times in both a Penguin 60 and in Shades of Greene, which collects the Greene stories that Thames TV dramatised in a series. The P60 review describes the story. **A Visit to Morin Set in Germany a man meets a once famous Catholic author who made an impact on his childhood through his writing. Their discussion, late one night after midnight mass, doesn't go the way expected. Very religion based this one, and not really in my wheelhouse. **Dream of a Strange Land, which again was featured in Shades of Greene. This story is about a doctor who find himself with two dilemmas - whether to compromise the law for a poor patient with leprosy, or for a powerful General. **
A Discovery in the Woods. Again a short story that might have been developed into something more, has something in common with Under the Garden. In this case it appears to be set in the post-apocalyptic future, where a group of deformed children explore beyond the bounds of their village and discover a large house full of artifacts. **
I think the four star reviews outweigh the other, as I enjoyed it more than 3 stars!
