520			_a"A Collection of Short-Stories" edited by L.A. Pittenger is a curated anthology of literary works, likely compiled in the early 20th century. It includes selections from notable short stories by renowned authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Rudyard Kipling, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, and aims to benefit high school students by introducing them to essential qualities and historical context of the short story form. The anthology provides valuable analyses and criticisms of each piece, alongside references for further reading, making it a useful resource for both students and educators. At the start of the volume, the prefatory notes outline the collection's purpose and method of organization. The opening discussions provide insight into the evolution of the short story as a literary form, noting its gradual emergence from oral traditions to the more refined narratives of the 19th century. Specific anecdotes illustrate the transformation of this literary genre, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the featured stories. Following this historical context, the anthology introduces the first story, "The Father" by Björnstjerne Björnson, which recounts the life of Thord Överaas, a prosperous man, and the poignant relationship he has with his only son, culminating in tragedy when the son drowns.
