[Magdalen] The Crows

[Roger Stokes]

It depends on the nature of the work.  Some may be essentially a single 
narrative.  Others may onclude different perspectives or distinct 
phases, perhaps separated by a paeriod of time and/or location, where 
the chapters help distinguish the various portions of the work.
