The phrase "life's little ironies" is now proverbial, but it was
coined by Hardy as the title for this, his third volume of short
stories, including such classics as An Imaginative Woman and A
Tragedy of Two Ambitions. Unified by his quintessential irony, strong
visual sense, and engaging characters, these stories deal with the
tragic and the humorous, the metaphysical and the magical. This
edition is the first to be based on a critical examination of all
available manuscript and printed versions of the texts.
