All aboard the nostalgia train!

A great short story collection, for every genre. Re-reading some of these was such a warm and fuzzy feeling! Reminded me of those good old days, when we used to devour those English books the moment they were assigned.
Why?
Because we all love a good story, oh yes we do.




Especially if it's written in a few pages rather than a few hundreds



While reading this one, I could imagine myself physically sitting in a comfortable corner, reading the books which were assigned for the next class, ugh just pure joy.



The new ones were great as well, no harm in reading short story by a new author. The perfect length of prose to check if you actually like the style.

Would totally recommend :)

PS. I was feeling a bit on the cheerier side today, hence the excessive GIFs.
Or a bunch of links in the middle, depending on where you view this :P

A great collectiong of short stories for all age groups.

A collection of 15 short stories, this book is an entertaining set of literature that can keep anyone interested. A few favorites - Gift of the Magi, The Tin Soldier and The Dare all made it to this book. There is a story for everyone, ranging from comedies to serious storylines that make you think. Loved it!
