Another side to H H Bashford By sally tarbox A collection of fifteen magical little tales for children, written in 1922.Don't expect to find much of the humour of Bashford's better known 'Augustus Carp' here ; the stories range from the whimsical ;little Marian coming across a group of bumpies - "baby angels. They're called bumpies till they've learned to fly......Marian's angel- everybody has a guardian angel- was smoking a quiet cigarette on the sill outside."to the exciting; Gwendolen saving an ill-treated chimp and returning it to Monkey Island; to the rather mundane; to the highly imaginative (Adam and Eve's spirited daughter, Bella , sneaking into the Garden of Eden, past the snoring angels in their sentry boxes. Or St Uncius: "I'm the patron saint of staircases.")Later tales are quite touching and enjoyable to the adult reader. I was particularly moved by 'The Imaginary Boy', when two girls follow a judge into a wood which he has made off-limits to everyone else. While there they see him playing cricket with a mysterious boy: "They looked at the judge and saw that his whole face had altered, as if the sun had come down and were shining through it." It turns out this was the judge's only son who had died at school (one cannot help thinking Bashford's story must have been influenced by the recent Great War) and "this is the place...where I come to imagine."I also enjoyed the poetry of 'Marian's Party', where an artist, blinded by a gun, has developed an acute sense of hearing which he shares with Marian:'a faint persistent ringing of bells; and these were the anemones swaying on their stems; and the little trumpet-sounds came from the primroses. Then there was a rough sort of scraping sound; and that was a mole, he said, burrowing in the earth two or three yards away. And there was a sound like a chant on one full note from a big field of grass just in front of the wood. those were the distincter notes; but there was a continuous sharp undertone, like millions of finger-tips tapping on stretched parchment; and those were the buds opening all along the hedges and upon the leaf-twigs up above them. But deeper than all, deeper and softer than the softest organ, there was a great sound; and that was the sap, he told her, rising like a flood in all things living for miles around them.'Illustrations by the author (which put me much in mind of Arthur Ransome's artwork in his 'Swallows and Amazons' books.Available as free download on Project Gutenberg.
