“The most remarkable story in the book is ‘The farcical history of Richard Greenow.’ There is a blunt boyish ring to this which oddly enough induces the uncanny effect that many writers wallow in melodrama to obtain.

“Instead of saying that there are seven short stories in ‘Limbo’ which are all clever, amusing, and well written, and recommending the public to read them, as we can conscientiously do, we are tempted to state, what it is so seldom necessary to state, that short stories can be a great deal more than clever, amusing, and well written. There is another adjective—‘interesting’; that is the adjective we should like to bestow upon Mr Huxley’s short stories, for it is the best worth having.”
