THREE COMPANION PIECES

by Margery Sharp ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 18, 1941

At the time of going to press, galley proofs on only one of these three novelettes had reached me, -- The Tigress on the Hearth. This seems entirely outside Margery Sharp's usual orbit, for it is a somewhat satiric tale of the marriage of one of the ""old school tie"" boys to an Albanian Amazon, who had murdered a man to save his life -- and who, untamed by marriage, murdered another man to give her love his chance in politics. An unconvincing tale, with less bite than might be expected, and less humor than Margery Sharp ordinarily employs. The other two -- The Nymph and the Nobleman, and Sophy Cassmajor are described as deceptively demure victorian pieces.
