Publisher's Synopsis
Arnold Bennett was a British writer, best known for his novels and short stories, many of which are set in a fictionalised version of the Potteries, which he called The Five Towns. He strongly believed that literature should be accessible to ordinary people, and he deplored literary cliques and élites. His books appealed to a wide public and sold in large numbers. In this book the critic August Nemo brings seven specially selected short stories: The Lion's Share; The Burglary; News of the Engagement; Beginning the New Year; From One Generation to Another; The Death of Simon Fuge; In a New Bottle.
