The Best Short Stories of 1915, 1916, 1917

Edited by EDWARD J. O'BRIEN

From every point of view—from that of the actual probabilities of reading enjoyment to be derived from it by all sorts of readers; from that of the vivid and varied, but always valid, concernment with life that it maintains; from that of technical literary interest in American letters, and from that of sheer esthetic response to artistic quality—THE BEST SHORT STORIES warrants an emphatic and unconditional recommendation to all.—Life.

Indispensable to every student of American fiction, and will furnish each successive year a critical and historical survey of the art such as does not exist in any other form.—Boston Transcript.
