British author A. E. W. Mason spent time as a member of Parliament and a Captain in World War I, but his first love was writing, and he produced dozens of novels and short story collections over the course of his career. The Four Corners of the World is filled with well-wrought little gems that perfectly reflect Mason's literary skill.
