The Apple Tree: Tales from the Caravan, the Assembled Collection

Written by the author of The Forsyte Saga, Caravanis a collection of 56 short stories composed between the years 1900 and 1923. The Apple Treecomprises the first 24 tales of this collection. For the majority of the stories the author grouped works of a similar theme in pairs, one from before 1914, the other written after 1914, in a deliberate attempt to illustrate how his ideas and technique changed over time. The stories themselves encompass a wide range of topics and emotions, from despair and death to salvation and hope, and there is even an appearance by the Forsyte family. Written in Galsworthy's descriptive and engaging manner, this collection is a thought-provoking and entertaining body of work.
