Four of his best novels are brought together here in one volume:Where Angels Fear to TreadThe Longest JourneyA Room with a ViewHowards End? E. M.

[Forster] does not hesitate to kill off a character right after introducing him with a careful description which leads us to anticipate a larger role."? Louis Auchincloss?
