Classic Short Stories - Volume 18: Hear Literature Come Alive In An Hour With These Classic Short Story Collections

Written by Edgar Allan Poe, D H Lawrence and Kate Chopin

Narrated by Bill Wallis, Jake Urry and Richard Mitchley

Stories are one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements. Whether written down or spoken they have an ability to capture our imagination and thoughts, and take us on incredible journeys in the space of a phrase and the turn of a page.

Within a few words of text or speech, new worlds and characters form, propelling a narrative to a conclusion with intricate ease. Finely crafted, perfectly formed these Miniature Masterpieces, at first thought, seem remarkably easy to conjure up. But ask any writer and they will tell you that distilling the essence of narrative and characters into a short story is one of the hardest acts of their literary craft. Many attempt, but few achieve.
