A Quiver Full of Arrows

Author’s Note

Of these eleven short stories, ten are based on known incidents (some embellished with considerable license). Only one is totally the result of my own imagination.

In the case of “The Century” I took my theme from three different cricket matches. Lovers of Wisden will have to do some considerable delving to uncover them.

“The Luncheon” was inspired by W. Somerset Maugham.
