"The stories and essays here assembled for the first time were written over a period of ten years ... Shortly before his sudden illness and death, Thomas sketched out plans for such a volume of prose pieces ... His American publisher, believing that American readers will prefer a broader and more complete collection ... has preferred to enlarge this edition ... to include a number of stories and articles published in magazines and not broadcast. He has also preferred to print here the more finished versions of the broadcast talks, as Thomas revised them for publication ... the American edition of 'Quite Early One Morning' differs considerably from the English edition ..."--Publisher's Note.
