Christmas. Philip Hensher's timely, but timeless, selection of the
best short stories from the past 20 years is that kind of book. His
introduction is as enriching as anything that has been published
this year' Sunday Times A spectacular treasury of the best British

thirty great stories for this new volume of works written between
1997 and the present day. Includes short stories by A.L. Kennedy,
Tessa Hadley, Kazuo Ishiguro, Jackie Kay, Graham Swift, Jane
