Twenty-One StoriesIn 'The Basement Room' a small boy witnesses an event that blights his whole life. Like the other stories in this book (written between 1929 and 1954), it hinges on the themes that dominate Graham Greene's novels fear, pity and violence, pursuit, betrayal and man's restless search for salvation. Some of the stories are comic poor Mr Maling's stomach mysteriously broadcasts all sorts of sounds; others are wryly sad a youthful indiscretion catches up

In 'The Basement Room' a small boy witnesses an event that blights his whole life. Like the other stories in this book (written between 1929 and 1954), it hinges on the themes that dominate Graham Greene's novels--fear, pity and violence, pursuit, betrayal and man's restless search for salvation. Some of the stories are comic--poor Mr Maling's stomach mysteriously broadcasts all sorts of sounds; others are wryly sad--a youthful indiscretion catches up with Mr Carter in 'The Blue Film'. They can be deeply shocking: in 'The Destructors' a gang of children systematically destroys a man's house. Yet others are hauntingly tragic--a strange relationship between twins that reaches its climax at a children's party. Whatever the mood, each one is a compelling entertainment and unmistakably the work of one of the finest storytellers of the century.

Fun toy for dogs that like to fetch
Color: Green-M
The toy is great, good quality, and durable. My dog will only play with it if I am am playing with her, otherwise she loses interest and that is why I am giving it a 4 out of 5. She is a 60 lb. dog and the size. It is a good price for the product and when my dog does play with it the multiple tabs on it make it user friendly for chewing and tossing.

Surprisingly Durable Soccer Ball
Color: Green-M
Ethan is a a chewer par excellence. When his soccer ball arrived several months ago, I expected it to be a raggedy mess within days. I was wrong. The only chewed strap is the longer black one. All others are as good as new. The ball itself is a good size for him, a slightly larger Sheltie. It is one of his favorite toys for running and fetching play. As far as value for money, we’ve had several months to enjoy it without thinking of retiring it to the damaged toys bin. I would recommend it for durability and exercise play.

Total Glow in the dark entertainment
Color: Glow in the dark - L
This toy is my Aussie Shepherd’s favorite. It is durable. I love that in addition to playing fetch, the tabs make it possible for my dog to swing it from his own mouth and throw it in the air. The glow-in-the-dark feature is amazing! I throw the ball in the pitch black yard and watch it run back at me as my dog comes towards me. It's fun to watch!

Straps don’t last
Color: Glow in the dark - L, Color: Glow in the dark - L
My boyfriend’s dog chewed off all the straps in the first day. Decent ball, but why have straps that dogs can chew off so fast.

Fine choice for smaller dogs
Color: Green-M
A good choice for smaller dogs. My mini poodle enjoys flipping this around and playing tug of war with her humans. She cannot be left with it for any unsupervised play, because she was able to begin shredding one of the straps in a matter of a few minutes. The included pump works great.
