Better known today for his influential fantasy writings, Lord Dunsany also wrote a number of sketches during World War One. This compilation of essays written from time spent in France in 1916. Much more thoughtful and melancholy than the pieces written for the War Office earlier in the war. - Summary by Alan Winterrowd (1 hr 26 min)

Part 4, chapter 3 "The House With Two Stories," the word VOILÀ, meaning 'here it is' or 'look at this," should not be pronounced like the musical instrument VIOLA which is spelled in a very similar way. It's a very distracting error in a chapter about the destruction of a village. I think anyone listening to this story would agree.
