A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this volume the century has turned, and the Imperial might of the British Empire swathes the world. It’s authors including such leviathans as Arthur Conan Doyle, H G Wells, John Galsworthy, Saki and many others are lauded not for might but for brilliant and incisive prose. Genius with every name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - The 1900's - The British - An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 - A Dream of Armageddon - Part 1 by H G Wells\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 - A Dream of Armageddon - Part 2 by H G Wells\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 - The Leather Funnel by Arthur Conan Doyle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 - They by Rudyard Kipling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 - The Power of Darkness by Edith Nesbit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 - The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 - A Lesson on a Tortoise by D H Lawrence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 - Tobermory by Saki\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 - Foreordained by Anthony Hope\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 - The Salvation of a Forsythe - Part 1 by John Galsworthy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13 - The Salvation of a Forsythe - Part 2 by John Galsworthy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44161248657486,"sku":"AB-478226","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/top101900sbritish.jpg?v=1791271012","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/en-gb\/products\/the-top-10-short-stories-the-1900s-the-british","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
