Tales from the White Hart is a collection of short stories
by science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, in the "club tales"
style.
The style and nature of the stories was inspired by the
Jorkens stories of the writer Lord Dunsany, whom Clarke admired and with whom
he corresponded, a fact humorously acknowledged by Clarke in his introduction
to the first Jorkens omnibus volume.
According to Clarke's preface to the book, the book was his
third collection of short stories, which were written between 1953 and 1957 in
such diverse spots as New York , Miami , Colombo , London and Sydney .
