 The SF Site Featured Review: Phases of the Moon: Stories of Six Decades
One of my favorites in the collection is the final story collected here: "With Caesar in the Underworld." This deft piece of alternate history uncoils itself casually, following the days of a minor Roman official and the youngest son of the infirm emperor as they play host to an ambassador from the Byzantine Empire.
Ultimately, this is a story not about a great empire in decline, but of those individuals who may or may not be significant that comprise that very empire.
The introductions accompanying the individual stories are a welcome touch as well, setting context for the period and atmosphere the stories were written in.

 Amazon.com: Books: Fen Country: Twenty-Six Stories   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
If you are new to this author, I suggest you start with one of his full-length mysteries to get the full flavor of his sometimes cranky, always brilliant amateur detective, Gervase Fen.
Some of the mysteries feature different, anonymous detectives and these stories tend to be clever puzzles with only the barest accouterments of character development or setting.
Neither short story collection transcends the genre of `brilliant, eccentric detective' fiction like his novels do.
