Amongst this selection are some of the best known of de la Mare’s stories: ‘Seaton’s Aunt’, ‘Out of the Deep’, ‘All Hallows’, and also some of the more obscure: ‘Miss Jemima’, ‘A Game at Cards’, Alice’s Godmother’. All illustrate the writer’s enigmatic relationship with alternative layers of existence and a sense of the unknown, conveyed in beautifully restrained prose. There are few overt exterior forces encountered; de la Mare’s characters ‘do not have to face monstrosities of any sort: but they are haunted nevertheless; by loneliness, by lovelessness, by loss.’ This concentration on ‘queerness and quiet tragedy’ is tempered by the writer’s poetic powers of description, particularly his depiction of the English countryside. Strangers and Pilgrims is the definitive collection of de la Mare’s supernatural and psychological stories.
