I'm always on the look out for short stories - mainly for reading on trains and planes etc. and I've read most of the works by popular short story authors such as Italo Calvino, Guy De maupassant, Anton Chekov, Roahd Dahl etc. But I'm afraid this particular volume falls short on quality. The stories seem to have been shortened even further than the originals. At times, the writing is so brief that it takes on a very simple, children story like quality. So - perhaps not quite riveting bed-time reading - but may still alleviate the boredom of waiting at airports, or when stuck in a train.

I haven't yet read all the stories but some of them are certainly masterpieces of the truly short story. This is a book to keep by your bedside and dip into.
Definitely worth the asking price.

What a delight to see this back in print. The stories are VERY short and delightfully blend works by classic and contemporary writers both from the U.S. and abroad. There are other collections more famous, but none better.
