This is an anthology of the best short stories of 1969; this pocketbook edition was published in 1972. It contains some classics that are still well known: - Harlan Ellison's "A Boy and His Dog," about a survivor in the tough times after an atomic war.

Renowned storyteller Anne Pellowski has traveled the world, collecting drawing stories from such diverse countries as Indonesia, Korea, Romania, Germany, Sweden, and Japan. Here she presents more than 30 ready-to-tell tales, along with step-by-step directions for the ingenious illustrations that accompany them, and tips for engaging your audience in further learning. An added feature is the inclusion of 5 delightful handkerchief (hanky panky) stories, which originated in Europe in the 19th century.

How do you grasp an event as enormous as September 11? At the Smithsonians National Museum of American History, you start small: A briefcase, a Blackberry, a victims sweatshirt, and a heros nametag. Simple objects that tell personal stories, recounted in the donors own words. Stories from New York, the Pentagon and Shanksville, PA remind us that the legacy of 9/11 is not fear -- its friendship, courage, and ordinary people pushed by extraordinary circumstances. Their stories deserve to be remembered across decades and generations. By telling them, we triumph over tragedy.
