Title: Another Excellent Oppenheim Title
Product review: Oppenheim was an extremely prolific author known as "the master story-teller." I discovered him only in the past year and his writing and plot development are terrific. This short-story collection is very good. You have to be comfortable with the fact that his language reflects the era in which he was writing (1920s-1930s). But apart from that, his tales are always engrossing. Most of his short story collections have a unifying theme -- either a character or several characters whose different adventures and/or mysteries one follows in each story. Generally speaking, you don't need to read every story sequentially to understand the later ones, but it is helpful to read the first in order to understand the basic organizing concept and characters.I've read more than ten of his short story collections and with only one exception ("The Terrible Hobby of Sir Joseph Londe") I much enjoyed all of them. Great diversions and entertainment.
