About the Author

Dating back to the early traditions of oral storytelling, the short story has evolved through the ages from myths, legends, fairy tales, fables, parables, stories in the Ramayana and Mahabharata, tales in the Panchatantra, the adventure tales of the Odyssey, biblical stories, the Norse sagas, and many others. As the oriental tale and Gothic novel gained popularity in the latter half of the eighteenth century, short story began developing in Britain. And by the beginning of nineteenth century, it had highly evolved as a form.

This is a great book to have in your possession! If you like short stories this is the one for you, You don't have to read them all at once-its a dip in book to be put back on the shelf and then taken down whenever you want to. I love it!

Some great short stories in this collection. A good way to introduce yourself to some of the more famous authors, without having to commit to a full-length book. Recommended.

Not as exciting as it could have been. However, maybe I’ve just read too many books like this one!

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely Unreadable!

One star is too many!Other Kindle (short stories) collections have a readily accessible author/chapter/story index ......which allows the reader to choose which ones are preferred .....and to read them in the order/priority of choice.This book (it cannot be dignified by the term "collection"!) has no such facility .....so it is merely 6,000-odd "pages" of words!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing value for some of the best stories ever written
