[Adrienne Michetti · Rating 5 out of 5]

While this might appear to be a dry and boring "old" book, it is filled with absolute *gems.* Stories are from classic writers, some of whom are known as short story writers, having perfected their craft, and others from authors whose primary genre is the novel, and even more from writers who are one-offs.

Highly recommended for lovers of the short story form, or for those who may not have time /energy to read a novel, but still want all the value of a piece of literature.

Book to take to a deserted island.
