About this audiobook
Excerpt: "Most collections of short stories that have been prepared, for school use, up to the present, are more or less alike in in drawing much of their material from the past. Authors and content alike are dead. Here is a collection that is entirely modern. The authors represented are among the leading authors of the day, the stories are principally stories of present-day life, the themes are themes of present-day thought. The students who read this book will be more awake to the present, and will be better citizens of to-day."
