Willa Cather published a collection of short stories called The Troll Garden. The stories share a common theme in that they feature characters who desire for the world of beauty and imagination but are continuously attacked by the obscene and vicious outer world. In the short tale 'The Sculptor’s Funeral,' the townspeople of a prairie village are shown in their reactions when a well-known sculptor’s body is brought back to be buried there. Today 'Paul’s Case,' the book’s concluding story, is regarded as a national classic in America. While some stories are amazing and fantastic others can create panic and trill among the readers. Willa Cather attempts to compile many of his classic thoughts in a single draft and offered at an affordable price so that everyone can read them. The book leaves the readers with an overwhelming sea of emotions.
