Recensione:

"These excellent collections include stories by some of Britain's best-loved writers... One of the joys of collections like these is that you're bound to come across something new... You really should buy them all." -Financial Times

"Classy... A great opportunity to sample a wide range of takes on this underrated form... At their best - Ali Smith, Alexander McCall Smith, Sebastian Faulks - short stories open disproportionately wide imaginative vistas." -Daily Telegraph
