Given the date of this
publication you will find these tales enjoyable and informative. Offers
an astonishing variety of voices and subjects. Full of unexpected
delights. The expanse of his genius and imagination, from the macabre to
the scandalous and criminal is vividly on display in this classic
collection. This instalment boasts some of Hogg's best work -- the
macabre story "The Long Pack", and the weirdly brilliant "Connel of
Dee". Winter Evening Tales is one of Hogg's most desirable volumes, on
grounds of sheer readability and aesthetic merit. For students of Hogg,
of Scottish literature, of romanticism, and of the tale collection as a
form, it counts as "essential reading".
