And I'm a big BIG fan of Twain. Harte's stories are priceless vignettes of life in California after the Civil War. Very poignant yet funny. ( ) This is a delightful collection of stories set in the Old West. They are told with a sure and deft hand. Harte creates memorable characters in very few words, putting them into situations that make them stick in the mind. The stories are a satisfying length and can be read in about 30-40 minutes. Ideal for lunch-time reading! They are bristling with wit and mischievousness, making them hugely enjoyable. (4 Shells!!!!) no reviews | add a review
