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\u003eThe Victorian era ceases but England strides on. Confident, bestriding the globe as policeman and enforcer of her Imperial ways. In literature her authors create majestic works that beguile an ever growing audience that now covers the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01 - The 20th Century - The English - An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e02 - The Matador of the Five Towns by Arnold Bennett\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e03 - Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e04 - The Rocking Horse Winner by D H Lawrence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e05 - Count Magnus by M R James\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e06 - Gabriel-Ernest by Saki\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e07 - The Kit Bag by Algernon Blackwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e08 - The Salvation of a Forsythe - Part 1 by John Galsworthy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e09 - The Salvation of a Forsythe - Part 2 by John Galsworthy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 - August Heat by W F Harvey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 - The Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44118995599438,"sku":"AB-541815","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/9781803541815.jpg?v=1785999815","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/en-gb\/products\/the-top-10-short-stories-the-20th-century-the-english","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
