En savoir plus sur le livre

First published in 1973, Haste Ye Back is a lively and intimate portrayal of Aberlour Orphanage in Banffshire, where Dorothy K. Haynes (1918-1987) spent four formative years in her childhood. Best known as a writer of gothic and supernatural fiction, here Haynes's vivid imagination brings to life the residents, caretakers and stories of the institution that irrevocably shaped her.In this new edition, the complete text of Haste Ye Back is reprinted alongside additional material by Haynes: three previously unpublished reminiscences on Aberlour Orphanage, and 'The Head', the winner of the 1947 Tom-Gallon Trust Award and a fine example of the author's haunting short fiction. Opening with a fresh and considered look at Haynes's life and work, this volume re-introduces a long-neglected writer of striking originality.
