Mortal Coils is a collection of five pieces written by Aldous Huxley in the 1920s.

The first one, “The Giaconda Smile”, is a short murder story.

Permutations Among the Nightingales” is a play concerning amorous problems experienced by the patrons of a certain establishment.

“The Tillotson Banquet” tells of an old artist who was thought to be dead.

“Green Tunnels” is about the boredom of a young girl on holiday with her family.

“Nuns at Luncheon” is a story told by a nun falling in love. The story mocks the writer’s process, a concept Huxley used in his Crome Yellow.

Each story is read by the talented narrator Simon Vance.
