Twenty-One StoriesIn 'The Basement Room' a small boy witnesses an event that blights his whole life. Like the other stories in this book (written between 1929 and 1954), it hinges on the themes that dominate Graham Greene's novels fear, pity and violence, pursuit, betrayal and man's restless search for salvation. Some of the stories are comic poor Mr Maling's stomach mysteriously broadcasts all sorts of sounds; others are wryly sad a youthful indiscretion catches up
In 'The Basement Room' a small boy witnesses an event that blights his whole life. Like the other stories in this book (written between 1929 and 1954), it hinges on the themes that dominate Graham Greene's novels--fear, pity and violence, pursuit, betrayal and man's restless search for salvation. Some of the stories are comic--poor Mr Maling's stomach mysteriously broadcasts all sorts of sounds; others are wryly sad--a youthful indiscretion catches up with Mr Carter in 'The Blue Film'. They can be deeply shocking: in 'The Destructors' a gang of children systematically destroys a man's house. Yet others are hauntingly tragic--a strange relationship between twins that reaches its climax at a children's party. Whatever the mood, each one is a compelling entertainment and unmistakably the work of one of the finest storytellers of the century.

Love it and appreciate them
Love the necklace - special present from my husband after our baby was born. It was reasonably inexpensive but you wouldn’t be able to tell that when you see it. Mine broke after a month which is not normal. I emailed not expecting a response back….. I not only got a response but they offered to replace mine. Very happy I can wear it again!

Repeat Customer
I absolutely love this necklace. I ordered one for myself and then ordered several more for friends and family. The 16” is a great choice because there’s an option to make it longer. The product is exactly as pictured. It also ships very quickly. Excellent value for custom jewelry.
