description: The short stories are written by Shaw, Poe, Steinbeck, Hemingway, O Henry, and Hawthorne, just to name a few of the classic geniuses. THe vocabulary is lush, musical, and flows into one's ears like a kind of sugar for the brain, the soul. The only problem with reading these stories is--if one is already a writer of sorts, they must come to the conclusion that arriving at the same level as these literary 'Gods' is not an option--only a tool for them to grasp, hold, and savor in their minds like a priceless gift. My suggestion is to unwrap these little jewels and drape yourself in their beauty--then wrap back up and pass along to somebody else! ***Thank you to the teacher at St.Scholastica for allowing me to be an out-of-classroom-student*** I loved it!
