Description
This is an anthology of brilliant short stories by some of the best-known short story writers such as O Henry, Somerset Maugham, Ernest Hemingway, Evelyn Waugh, Ruskin Bond and others. The questions and discussions that follow each of the short stories enhance the value of the texts by guiding students to understand the theme, the plot and the deeper meanings of the stories other than forming an idea of the techniques employed by the story writer to strike the required effects in a story. The book can be used as a supplementary reader not only at the intermediate level in any part of the country but also at the undergraduate level.
