Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Mr. George, and Other Odd Persons

Book Review: Beautifully written, evocative and engaging.
Summary: 5 Stars

These 17 evocative and well-written short stories were incredibly written in one month's time to, as Derleth says, "swell the log of (the pulp magazine) Weird Tales". The title story -- "Mr. George" -- is alone worth the price of the book. If you've ever been bullied, you'll empathize with Priscilla, the tiny protagonist in the title story, and her mysterious imaginary friend. When greedy relatives plot to do the tyke in to capitalize on her inheritance, this "imaginary" friend comes to her side.

Derleth has a marvelous way of telling a story whether a science fiction venture, a mystery, or a spine tingler (as are the stories in this title). If you can find a copy of this book get it!
