This is really meant for ESOL students, but it caught my attention when I was browsing the book stacks at work. It has a total of nine short stories written by great authors including, H. E. Bates, W. Somerset Maugham, William Saroyan, D. H. Lawrence, O. Henry, H. H. Munro, Mark Twain, F. Marion Crawford, and Stephen Leacock. What I liked most about this collection is that it has a nice blend of stories — humorous, serious, and magical — and many of them have a nice twist at the end. You can breeze through this in less than an hour, but you can quickly learn how to write a successful short story that captures your audience. These authors make it look so easy to pack in a fully developed story in just a few pages. It's not easy, but learning from these authors is a good place to start.

It was good but not every single short story was as good as the rest. It's nice to read books with simple vocabulary sometimes.
It makes me happy. :))
