Stories to Remember Volume 1

These well-beloved writings were chosen for their originality and readability and for the reputations they have built for themselves and their authors. Among them are a number of discoveries - stories you have probably never read because they have been out of print for many years.

The collection was assembled by Thomas B. Costain, editor and author of best-selling novels and histories, and John Beecroft, editor-in-chief of the Literary Guild of America and compiler of five previous anthologies.

Mr. Costain says of the collection: "These are vintage stories, in our esteem, and we are convinced that those who read them will carry them in their memories with the same fondness and admiration that the editors have felt."
