About this title

Synopsis:

There are as many love stories as there are people in the world. Each person and each story is unique. For centuries the theme of love has held a special fascination for the writer of short stories, and with each new addition to the genre a fresh and equally compelling aspect of love is revealed.

Synopsis:

The stories in this collection each reflect a different facet of love, from rose-tinted romance to first love, from brief encounters to the bitterness of betrayal and infidelity. The contributors include Colette, Chekov, Jilly Cooper, Daphne du Maurier, H.E.Bates and Catherine Cookson.
