A collection, &lt;i&gt;Night Fears,&lt;/i&gt; appeared in 1924. His novella &lt;i&gt;Simonetta Perkins&lt;/i&gt; (1925) was a light exercise in cosmopolitan manners, with a plot that recalls Henry James’s “international” stories. &lt;i&gt;The Killing Bottle&lt;/i&gt; (1932) was another collection of stories. &lt;i&gt;The Shrimp and the Anemone&lt;/i&gt; (1944), his first novel in 19 years, was the first part of a trilogy about a brother and sister, Eustace and Hilda. The first volume treats their childhood. &lt;i&gt;The Sixth Heaven&lt;/i&gt; (1946) and &lt;i&gt;Eustace and Hilda&lt;/i&gt; (1947) follow them in adulthood. Adept at depicting childhood, Hartley focusses the action of another of his novels, &lt;i&gt;The Go-Between&lt;/i&gt; (1953; filmed 1971), on a 12-year-old boy who inadvertently causes a tragedy through his ignorance of the complexity of adult relations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="p4" style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'Helvetica Neue';min-height:16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="p3" style="margin:0px;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:'Helvetica Neue';"&gt;Relations between brothers and sisters were further explored in &lt;i&gt;My Sisters’ Keeper&lt;/i&gt; (1970). Hartley’s most complex and fully realized novel is &lt;i&gt;The Boat&lt;/i&gt; (1949), in which he explores the struggles of a crowd-avoiding individual in England during World War II, when group effort and identification were the norm. A volume of essays, &lt;i&gt;The Novelist’s Responsibility,&lt;/i&gt; appeared in 1967 and &lt;i&gt;The Collected Stories of L.P. Hartley&lt;/i&gt; in 1968.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
