Description:"A good anthology of short stories has a great deal to offer, for in its limited space, a first-rate story reveals much about a writer's mind and style, about his way of seeing and comprehending," writes Barbara Howes in her introduction. "We read a tale by Stephen Crane and then one by Isaac Bashevis Singer, and we have taken on knowledge of two very different worlds. Each fine story provides background for the next, and as we move through a good collection the mind expands, our understanding grows."The Sea-Green Horse offers thirty stories ranging from the delicate sophistication of Isak Dinesen's "The Ring" and the chilling fantasy of Ray Brad- bury's "The Fog Horn" to the strong realism of Jack London's "To Build a Fire."The idea for compiling this collection came to Miss Howes while she was look- ing for stories to interest her teen-age son Gregory. Intrigued with what she was finding, Greg soon joined her in the search. The result of their collaboration is a superior anthology to stimulate the imagination of readers of any age.--front flapMysterious madame shanghai / Langston Hughes --The affair at 7, rue de M / John Steinbeck --I spy / Graham Greene --The red-headed murderess / Robert Branson --Zlateh the goat / Isaac Bashevis Singer --The rocking-horse winner / D.H.
