Author: Harcourt

This volume brings together twenty-eight of the best of Dorothy Canfield's short stories written over a half century. Two of them are new, and the others, selected from her eight volumes of short stories, have been completely revised. Several stories have appeared in the annual Best American Short Stories, and "The Knot-hole" and "Sex Education" received O. Henry Memorial Awards. "What My Mother Taught Me" has not been published before, and "The Washed Window" has had magazine publication only. Also included are such favorites as "The Murder on Jefferson Street," "The Apprentice," and others that have stood the test of time.
