This carefully crafted ebook: “The Popular Girl and 3 other stories” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. A wonderfully written collection of "Girl meets Boy" short stories. From this collection, our favourite is definitely "The Popular Girl": it tells the story of Yanci, a beautiful Southern girl who realizes she is alone after her father dies. She decides to go after a man named Scott, who is well off and would do anything to have her... Fitzgerald's beautifully drawn exploration of the interdependency of love and money captures in perfect detail the concerns that pervade so many of his stories. Content: Myra Meets his Family The Smilers The Popular Girl Two for A Cent Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was an American novelist and short-story writer. He is ranked among the great American writers of the 20th cent. Fitzgerald is widely considered the literary spokesman of the "jazz age"—the decade of the 1920s. Part of the interest of his work derives from the fact that the mad, gin-drinking, morally and spiritually bankrupt men and women he wrote about led lives that closely resembled his own.

Twenty stories of contemporary Indian life by an astonishingly original writer This striking collection of stories demonstrates the remarkable range of one of Indiaýs most accomplished writers. Sometimes comic, yet tinged with sadness, as in ýThe Remains of the Feastý where an old woman near the end of her life suddenly feels the urge to sample all the food she has been forbidden; sometimes with a twist as in ýGajar Halwaý where Chellamma, a servant girl from a small town finally understands what makes a big city work; sometimes moving as in ýThe Reprieveý, and always executed with a precision of style and magical imagery, these stories never fail to surprise and delight.

An omnibus collection featuring some of the finest works of a master of weird fiction One of the preeminent writers of weird fiction, Robert Aickman is celebrated for his unsettling and often ambiguous "strange stories," but he once wrote that “those, if any, who wish to know more about me, should plunge beneath the frivolous surface of The Late Breakfasters,” his only novel, originally published in 1964. In The Late Breakfasters, young Griselda de Reptonville is invited by Mrs. Hatch to a house party at her country estate, Beams (which, incidentally, is haunted). There, amidst an array of eccentric characters and bizarre happenings, she will meet the love of her life, Louise. But when their short-lived relationship is cruelly cut short, Griselda must embark on a quest to recapture the happiness she has lost. Never before published in the United States and long unobtainable, Aickman's odd and whimsical novel is joined in this omnibus volume by six of his finest weird tales (two of them making their first-ever American appearance): “My Poor Friend”, “The Visiting Star”, “Larger Than Oneself”, “A Roman Question”, “Mark Ingestre: The Customer's Tale”, and “Rosamund's Bower”, as well as a new introduction by Philip Challinor.
