"Strange Stories" by Grant Allen is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The collection explores a range of psychological and scientific themes through fictional narratives, often featuring characters such as the Reverend John Creedy and Dr. Greatrex as they navigate complex emotional and moral dilemmas. The opening of "Strange Stories" introduces the Reverend John Creedy, a man of African descent who has returned to England after being educated at Oxford. He is preparing to return to Africa for a missionary endeavor, and much curiosity surrounds him in his British village. Ethel Berry, an idealistic young woman, is drawn to him, leading to a profound and complicated relationship shaped by societal perceptions of race. As the story unfolds, it poses questions about identity, love, and the impact of cultural heritage. The narrative highlights Creedy's struggle to reconcile his black heritage with his British education and social standing, ultimately delving into the challenges faced by interracial relationships of the time.
