First published in 1923, 'The Fascinating Stranger and Other Stories' is a fantastic collection of classic short stories by American dramatist and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Newton Booth Tarkington (1869-1946). Among only three other novelists to have won the Pulitzer Prize more than once, Tarkington was one of the greatest authors of the 1910s and 1920s who helped usher in Indiana’s Golden Age of literature. His books saw numerous reprintings and were often prize-winning bestsellers, with many being for film and other media. The stories include: 'The Fascinating Stranger', 'The Party', 'The One-Hundred-Dollar Bill', 'Jeannette', 'The Spring Concert', 'Willamilla', 'The Only Child', 'Ladies’ Ways', 'Maytime in Marlow', '’You’', '’Us’', 'The Tiger', and 'Mary Smith'. Highly recommended for short story lovers and fans of Tarkington’s other works. Other notable works by this author include: 'Monsieur Beaucaire' (1900), 'The Turmoil' (1915), and 'The Magnificent Ambersons' (1918). Read & Co. Classics are republishing this collection of short stories now in a new edition complete with a biography of the author from 'Encyclopædia Britannica' (1922).
