This is the second edition of the first fiction publication by the author of Edmund Persuader. It includes the fourteen pieces of the original edition-the twelve short stories framed by two essays-but it is enlarged by the addition of a new afterword and a final story that have not previously appeared. As the author writes in his preface: "Arcadia is no place. It is in the mind of the poet or the writer who retreats to it. As Vergil showed us, it is by no means an ideal world. It mirrors the strains of the writer's life and times. My Arcadia is perhaps more georgic than others. It is part Maine, part wider New England, part old England, part the classical Arcadia. . . . Most of these tales deal with an old theme, the struggle for understanding of self in the context of companionship." Complete in one volume.
