Holland, Vyvyan. AN EVERGREEN GARLAND. London: Cassell, [1968]. Octavo, boards. First edition. The author's posthumous last book, a collection of short fiction, a playlet,essays, and memoirs of three of his closer friends: A. J. A. Symons, C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Ronald Firbank. Brief introduction by Alec Waugh. At least three of the stories have some fantastic element. "The Rajah's Polo Team" is an effective fantasy that turns on the last sentence of the story. "Nemesis" is a tale of supernatural horror. "Transistor Pools" is subtly science-fictional. All the material has a crisp, fresh liveliness. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#113389).
