Lord of IllusionsLord of Illusions is the fourth collection of short stories from award-winning Scottish writer Dilys Rose. Exploring the human condition in all its glory--and all its folly--Lord of Illusions treats both with humour and compassion.

Each of these finely crafted stories, with their subtle twists and turns, their changes of mood and tone, demonstrate the versatile appeal of the short story, for which Dilys Rose is deservedly celebrated. |
