The Folio Book of Great Short Stories

The Folio Book of Great short stories – This book contains short stories from a wide selection of great authors such as ‘A Little Cloud’ is James Joyce’s story within a story, Dorothy Parker’s dramatic monologue ‘The Waltz’ brings feminist issues to the fore, and Franz Kafka’s dark tale of a professional faster, ‘The Hunger Artist’, is full of powerful symbolism. Dickens’s ghost story is a classic of the genre, Octavia E. Butler’s ‘Speech Sounds’ is an award-winning sci-fi rollercoaster, and Hilary Mantel’s ‘The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher’ is a parody of a 1980s moment, packed with pithy dialogue and comic undertones.

Coupled with artwork by Paul Blow this is a fantastic book that can be dipped in and out of with ease.
