Short fiction from several countries and more than one century sits in this anthology, with Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe and Leo Tolstoy among the writers represented. The range is deliberate: horror beside moral fable beside comic sketch.
Frances Hodgson Burnett, J. M. Barrie and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry also appear, which widens the selection towards stories that younger readers can take up. An anthology of this kind suits readers with irregular time, since each piece stands alone, and it works well as an introduction before committing to a writer's longer books.
A few specifics:
• Stories by Poe, Tolstoy, Twain and other well known names
• Selections range from mystery and horror to family and moral tales
• Each piece readable on its own in a short sitting
• Collectable bound edition suited to gifting
A good match for readers sampling classic fiction, school libraries and gift buyers, available in English from Boipoka.
