A beautiful new edition of Hugh Hood's debut story collection. It all started toward the end of the 1930s, when the young Hugh Hood serviced a flourishing Saturday Evening Post delivery route with more than fifty weekly customers.

Reissued here on its 55th anniversary, Hood's first collection of short fiction, Flying a Red Kite contains some of his most well-known short fiction, from the post-apocalyptic visions of "After the Sirens" to the Faulknerian portrait of rural Ontario in "Three Halves of a House."
