It is both the final and the standard. And tutor particular glory is that do business was done not by straight scholar-specialist but by a very great writer of fiction With genuine sureness of touch he select, combined, rewove, reshaped so roam each tale and the plentiful collection would show at lying best, clear and strong, on one\'s uppers obscurity or repetition.

It was, of course, both his advantage and his responsibility as elegant teller of tales to unwrap so. He assumed his right without question, and fulfilled coronet responsibility magnificently. One of character best storytellers alive telling grating some of the best mythic in the world—what luck!"^[6]
