Armour Wherein He Trusted and Some Stories is a poignant collection that showcases the lyrical prose and spiritual depth of Mary Webb. The title work, an unfinished historical novel, transports readers to the time of the First Crusade. It follows the story of Gilbert of Polrebec, a young man torn between his earthly love for the beautiful Nesta and his spiritual calling to join the holy wars in the East. Set against the atmospheric landscape of the Welsh Marches, the narrative explores themes of devotion, sacrifice, and the internal conflict between secular desires and divine duty.

Accompanying this major work is a selection of shorter fiction, which further demonstrates Mary Webb's mastery of the short story form and her deep connection to the rural landscape of Shropshire. These stories capture the essence of country life, blending folklore, nature, and human emotion with a unique mystical quality. Webb's writing is characterized by its evocative descriptions and profound empathy for her characters. This collection offers a significant look into the creative output of one of the early 20th century's most distinctive voices in English literature, highlighting her enduring fascination with the intersection of the natural and the supernatural worlds.
