The Granta Book of the American Short Story by Richard Ford
Richard Ford, who is among the finest of American novelists and short-story writers, edits and introduces this volume. First published by Granta Books in 1992, it became the definitive anthology of American short fiction written in the last half of the twentieth century - an 'exemplary choice' in the words of the Washington Post - with stories by writers such as Eudora Welty, John Cheever and Raymond Carver (and forty others) demonstrating how much memorable power can lie in the briefest narration. Along with The New Granta Book of the American Short Story, this book constitutes an important reflection and judgement of recent American writing - as well as the superb pleasure yielded by the stories themselves.
Beresford, Richard: - Richard Beresford was born and raised in Chesterfield, a market town in North Derbyshire, and still reside there today. The fact that it is on the doorstep to the Peak District is one of the reasons he has stayed as it means he doesn't have to travel far to enjoy the stunning scenery the Peak District has to offer. He likes to try many different photographic genres - Landscapes, Nature, Black & White, Sport - anything goes really although living so close to the Peak District National Park it's inevitable that Landscapes form such a large part of his collection.
