TALL SHORT STORIES

Fifty stories by such master stylists as Beerbohn, Saki, de Maupassant, Chekhov, and Mark Twain, this book redefines the meaning of the ""tall story"". Using humor as a means rather than a blunt end, the scope of these stories includes romance, fantasy, science, and hyperbole. A generous offering to the reader with a taste for ""leg-pulling"" and an appetite for fine entertainment.
