Three absorbing classics by the acclaimed Scottish novelist, including a National Book Award winner. This collection includes three novels whose settings range from Wales to China, and which paint a rich portrait of the changes and upheavals of the early decades of the twentieth century: The Citadel: Set in Great Britain in the years between the world wars, this National Book Award-winning novel is "[a] fine, honest, and moving a study of a young doctor" ( The Atlantic Monthly). The Stars Look Down: This thought-provoking novel follows the challenges faced by a Northern England coal mining community and represents "the finest work Cronin has given his public" ( Kirkus Reviews). The Keys of the Kingdom: A controversial Scottish Catholic priest embarks on a mission in China, where over years of hardship he learns the true meaning of humanity—and of faith—in "a magnificent story of the great adventure of individual goodness" ( The New York Times Book Review).
