Willa Cather, John Galsworthy, Thomas Hardy, De Maupassant, Rudyard Kipling are but a few of the great names of literature whose writings are included in this superb two-volume anthology. Here, too, are pieces by W. Somerset Maugham, Charles Dickens, and Ernest Hemingway all stories the reader will be glad to re-read or discover for the first time and will find are well worth remembering.
Thomas B. Costain and John Beecroft compiled More Stories to Remember in response to a demand which resulted from the publication of their similar collection, Stories to Remember. Both editors are known for their ability to recognize fine stories, and this magnificent anthology shows them at their selective best.
In choosing these six complete novels and thirty short stories, the editors aimed at both variety and high quality. But, above all, their selection was based on readability and enjoyment as anyone who dips into this engrossing collection will discover.
