Content:Ambrose Bierce: An Occurrence at Owl CreekBridge Stephen: Crane The VeteranMark Twain: The Notorious Jumping Frog of CalaverasCountyO. Different in atmosphere and writing style, they nevertheless caught the mood and concerns of the day in a way that was distinctly American. Henry: The Last Leaf and other storiesJack London: Brown WolfFive great American short story writers, dating from the turn of the 19th/20th centuries, are represented here.
Twain’s humour is to the fore in The Notorious Jumping Frog.... And O. Bierce’s ‘An Occurrence...’ leaves echoes in the imagination; the stories by Crane and London recall the themes of the Civil War and the Klondike for which they are well known. Henry’s sharp observation makes his neat tales a joy to listen to.
An attractive and accessible collection.
