Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Walter de la Mare was a 20th century novelist, short story writer and poet. He is best known for his children's stories. His love of imagination made his children's books very popular, but this also may have contributed to his other writings being taken less seriously. The Listener is his most famous work. In The Return Arthur Lawford falls asleep in a graveyard on the tomb of Nicholas Sabathier. When he awakes he is horrified to find out that he now has the face of Sabathier. This psychological horror novel asks questions such as how do you react when your husband comes home with a different man's face? How is your life effected by your having a different face?

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Nov 29 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Return (Paperback)
I first encountered Walter de la Mare through his story 'Seaton's Aunt' in an anthology. This novel was my next read and it solidified my opinion of de la Mare as a tragically forgotten author of immense ability.

Though the blurb about the book sounds like a rather standard 'weird' narative, what stands out most about this novel is how deeply you are plunged into issues of emotion, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. De la Mare's chief concern is the unseen world that is impossible to directly describe in words, and he demands careful reading and attention to every word, but rewards with a deep and grand vision that is rarely even attempted at, nevermind accomplished.

Being a fairly inexpensive paperback, and a relatively short novel, it's a great introduction to the world of de la Mare before tackling his short story collections.
