| About The Author | Philip Hensher is the editor of The Penguin Book of the British Short Story (two volumes) and of The Penguin Book of the Contemporary British Short Story. His most recent novel is A Small Revolution in Germany. |
Hensher's anthology is bigger, better and broader in several senses than anything else currently available |
|
| Other text | Almost 100 potent doses of the form which editor Philip Hensher claims very plausibly to be "the richest, most varied and most historically extensive national tradition anywhere in the world"… Hensher has spent a couple of years searching libraries and magazine archives and comes out staggering under a weight of treasures |
