Great Short Short Stories: Quick Reads by Great Writers: Willa Cather, Stephen Crane, Daniel Defoe, Thomas Hardy, Franz Kafka, Rudyard Kipling, Jack L

I really should have done more research before I ordered this book. As it turns out, I have read every single story in this anthology and, even worse, the stories have been edited down so that they are much shorter than originally written. If I had actually looked at the individual stories before I ordered I would have taken a pass on this. If you have never read any of these classics, then this book will be a great start for you. But be warned, none of these stories are new and none were written beyond around 1900.

These stories are short, usually just a few pages. They are quick to read and could be a good source of filler. Personally, I like a little bit more development. I think the book is well titled and worth reading.

The cover artwork is "Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash" by Giacomo Balla, 1912

As always, Dover books are a great way to get a lot of story for your money. Any clue as to artist/title on the cover art? I've been looking for a print for ages.
