FEATURES
Parts of the book are set for study in Cambridge's IGCSE, O Level, and Cambridge International AS and A Level Literature in English syllabuses, but it is designed to have a broader appeal and function, providing short stories to enjoy for readers of all ages and backgrounds.
This international anthology contains a wide variety of short stories from across the English-speaking world.
Famous authors, from Charles Dickens to Annie Proulx, combine with many new and lesser known writers to create fresh and interesting effects and contrasts.
All stories have been carefully chosen for their wide appeal, avoiding anything obscure or hard to interpret.
Notes on each text help students understand unfamiliar words and references.
Can be used alongside Stories of Ourselves Volume 2 and Songs of Ourselves Volumes 1 and 2.
