The Oxford Book of Australian Short Stories by Michael Wilding
The short story has always been as significant a component of Australian literature as the novel, the poem or the play. This major anthology, covering over 120 years of Australian fiction, assembles the richly varied talents of 50 of the leading exponents of the genre.
