Illustrated by
Yan Nascimbene.
Seventeen fine American writers spanning over one hundred fifty years (e.g., Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Willa Cather, Langston Hughes, Alice Walker) are represented in this attractive collection. Frontispiece illustrations for each tale, in addition to high-quality paper and good production values, are standouts. Brief publication histories and authorial biographies for each tale appear at the end of the volume.
