This review is from: 40 Short Stories: A Portable Anthology (Paperback)
I bought this for a college sophomore english class, but every one of the stories are pieces of fiction worthy to be read for mere pleasure. This is short story literature at its finest!

A must for short story writers and readers,

This review is from: 40 Short Stories: A Portable Anthology (Paperback)
While at the end of the book, Beverly Lawn gives advise from a selection of one story, this is not a "How To" book in the usual sense. The stories themselves, by some of the greatest authors, do the teaching. Read like a writer and you will get a weath of education from this book. It's one to read over and over and points one to other works by the same authors worthy of reading as well.

This review is from: 40 Short Stories: A Portable Anthology (Paperback)
I adore this anthology! I've read over half of the stories. The print is easy to read and the font is a good size. Perfect for anyone's collection.
