The P.F. Collier & Son edition of Greatest Short Stories, Volume I, is comprised of the stories that were once the grist of high school literature classes. The anthology features classic American authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe and others.
Two of the most delightful stories are Frank R. Stockton’s “The Lady, or the Tiger?” and Bayard Taylor’s “Who Was She?”.
This volume of Greatest Short Stories serves as one of those pleasing “palate cleansers”. You can read one or two of these stories between books you plan to read cover to cover.
