Description

A website with printable short stories from published authors. The works span over nine genres. Each work is listed with a brief synopsis so that no time is wasted going to an online source only to find that it is of no interest to the reader. Great for teachers who are looking to link to a specific literary element or theme. Also good for students who, for example, might be looking to write a report or just read something new.
