[Richard · Rating 4 out of 5]

This anthology of short stories was a high school textbook containing samples by such Canadian authors as Alice Munro, Margaret Laurence, Mordechai Richler, and Morley Callaghan, to name but a few. I wish I'd kept my copy. But at least there's a copy in a local library. I may take it out someday to re-read and review.

A very good starting point for the novice short story reader.
