Randolph Rossi –
A very diverse and very entertaining collection of short stories that were written by some very famous authors and some by not so famous authors.

Really am enjoying the short stories. Of course “50 Greatest” is very subjective. Most/many of these are classics, written at least 50 years ago and many written well over 100 year.”s ago. So a better title would be “50 Greatest Short Stories from the 19th Century
