ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Ten Famous Stories of English-Language Literature
This anthology contains ten stories by renowned English-language authors. The stories explore themes of love, happiness, personal growth and liberation, but also of suffering, prejudice, exploitation, death, and even murder. The “main characters” include interesting people as well as a canary, a ghost, and a million-pound note. Whether funny or tragic, each story is a little masterpiece with an often surprising ending.
