These entertaining short stories are by a wide range of well-known writers from Britain, Ireland and the United States. Some are about very ordinary people to whom something interesting happens, as in “The Courtship of Susan Bell” by Anthony Trollope. Others deal with unusual characters or events, like Oscar Wilde’s “The Model Millionaire” and Edgar Allen Poe’s “X-ing a Paragraph”. Some of the stories are funny and light-hearted; others are more serious and thoughtful. Together they make a highly enjoyable and varied collection which shows the short story at its very best. The Longman Fiction series offers a stimulating range of literature for lower intermediate to advanced level students of English. Every book contains an introduction, word list and activity material to help understanding the appreciation of the book.
