註釋

Three rare novelettes by A. J. Cronin: MASCOT FOR UNCLE is the moving story of the special bond between "Uncle," a would-be doctor whose object in life is to go to China as a medical missionary but who for 17 years is unable to pass his final exams, and "Kitch," a six-year-old boy of the Edinburgh slums suffering from an advanced case of rickets. CHILD OF COMPASSION is the poignant story of Susan Sinclayne, a compassionate young doctor who struggles to find fulfillment after a freak accident horribly disfigures her lovely face. THE MAN WHO COULDN'T SPEND MONEY is the warmly human story of Joe Mardent, an orphan whose impoverished childhood instills in him a reluctance to spend-even after, through hard work and determination, he acquires great wealth!
