Overall this is a good collection of DuMaurier's “lost” short stories (most were previously published in magazines but not since). As with so many short story collections it's a bit uneven, but you can't really go wrong with DuMaurier. She really does like unnamed narrators, doesn't she?

My favorites/the most memorable would be The Doll, And Now To God The Father, Tame Cat, The Happy Valley, and The Limpet.
