Economical size and price. This collection is smaller and less expensive than even "compact" editions of other introductory fiction anthologies.

Significant, classroom-proven stories. The fourth edition includes classics by Edgar Allan Poe and Flannery O'Connor, plus recent favorites by Tim O'Brien and Amy Tan.

Unobtrusive, effective editorial features.

Chronological arrangement provides a historical framework for understanding the development of the genre;

Notes on the authors in an appendix provide biographical context;

A glossary defines key terms, such as elements of fiction;

An appendix on writing about fiction helps students write academic papers about the stories they read.

Flexible enough to be used in a variety of courses. Previous editions have been assigned in introduction to fiction and literature courses, creative writing, and even composition.
