SON OF A TINKER

Short stories and some top grade ones in Walsh's best tradition. Along with a number of charming but slight stories, there are four first rate ones. The title story, of a tinker who defies tradition and pulls himself up by his own boot straps; an absorbing ghost story, with romance, and a happy ending; there's a story of days when a duel settled all quarrels; there's a story of Walsh's beloved ""small dark man"".
