Short Fiction Various: Past Masters 203, v1, 20 Feb 2025

20 short stories, including a rare, strange effort by Elinor Glyn, a short story sold as a very slim hardback book. Elinor Glyn wrote "racy" (by the standards of the time) novels such as "Three Weeks" (1907) which gave rise to the doggerel:

Would you like to sin
With Elinor Glyn
On a tiger skin?
Or would you prefer
To err with her
On some other fur?
