A.C. & R.H. Benson
Rating 
I totally disagree with the editor of this collection that R.H. Benson's works are more religious in tone than A.C. Benson's. I find it the opposite. I sometimes had to resist flipping through the pages for almost every story written by A.C. Benson as they were all so predictable. I found some of the stories laughable. But I was surprised that there were only 7 stories of R.H. Benson included - but they were all good and I even cried when I read one of them... No, it wasn't a ghost story but a Catholic weepie. And I was delightfully chilled by his 'The Traveller'. Excellent and effective.
