About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Angels of Mons, by Arthur Machen. Read by R. S. Steinberg. The Angels of Mons is a popular legend about a group of angels who supposedly protected members of the British army in the Battle of Mons at the outset of World War I. The story is fictitious, developed through a combination of a patriotic short story by Arthur Machen, rumours, mass hysteria and urban legend, claimed visions after the battle and also possibly deliberately seeded propaganda.
