Life's Little Ironies - Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy's

Life's Little Ironies, A Set of Tales With Some Colloquial Characters Entitled A Few Crusted Characters


I enjoyed reading these tales, especially being introduced to the character of Wat "Mop" Ollamoor, the dandy fiddler.

This edition was the 1968 Greenwood Edition by St. Martin's Press, MacMillan, which I like because I find it easy to read and I didn't see any typos.  I notice that this edition uses single apostrophes, one facing up and one facing down, instead of quotation marks.  There is also a space between the letter and the punctuation marks other than periods.
