| Summary | "TEDIOUS BRIEF TALES OF GRANTA AND GRAMARYE" by Arthur Gray is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The tales revolve around the historical and mythical aspects of Cambridge University, specifically featuring notable locations like Jesus College. They explore themes of magic, intrigue, and the interplay between reality and folklore, often drawing upon the rich literary history of the area. At the start of the collection, the narrative sets the stage by reflecting on the echoing past of Cambridge, beginning with an homage to two forgotten magicians, subtly blending history with magic. The first story introduces "The Everlasting Club," a secretive gathering of young men at Jesus College, exploring their extravagant traditions and the dark turn their membership takes due to a tragic event. Through rich imagery and historical detail, Gray crafts an atmosphere that invites readers to delve further into the intertwining of life, legacy, and literature in the university's storied halls.
