Book Description
DIVDIVDaniel Stern’s sparkling reinventions of six great literary works/divDIV Twice Told Tales is a new take on some of literature’s greatest stories. In a bravura performance, acclaimed novelist Daniel Stern channels the particular styles and spirits of six classic pieces—even the writings of Sigmund Freud—into unexpected new settings. E. M. Forster, Henry James, and Ernest Hemingway are updated in brilliantly drawn portraits, at once affectionate and satirical. Stern’s approach is deft and witty, yet always attentive to the timeless characters and ideas with which he works./divDIV/div/div

TWICE-TOLD TALES FOR ALL AGESBy Allan and Rosemary YoungNot only does this book feature tales for all ages of readers, but the preface tells how such tales are to be written. These stories typically range from a few hundred words to several thousand. They can be written in third person, or for more emphasis on personal experiences, in first person. Short stories can be segmented with pseudo chapters, or can run with straight through text. The themes run from humor to uplifting to tragedy. The protagonists are boys, girls, men, women, and sometimes, animals predominate. The author shares his experiences as well as his knowledge of how to successfully write short stories.
