Nightmares of Eminent Persons and Other Stories

177 pp. Illustrated by Charles Stewart. "A collection of thirteen satirical stories, moral fables for the mid-twentieth century. They are devastating in their impact, far-ranging in their fantasy, unswerving in their devotion to reason. Lord Russell called them "Signposts to Sanity" in his introduction. Lord Russell gives a new twist to the classical device of placing plausible people in improbably situations - in this case their nightmares - which are both timely and timeless, illustrating universal follies and obsessions."
