This is an easy to read collection of Short Stories set in modern Australia. Many of the stories have romantic themes; a few concentrate on human interest. Written by Australian author Margaret Lynette Sharp, in common with all her published books, this volume is edited by her husband Ronald Sharp B.E.M., who is best known for his design and building of the Grand Organ in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House. Unlike the author's previous collections of Short Stories, this volume starts and ends with unrelated, relatively long tales, spanning the years. Some stories, such as 'To Break The Mould', have quite deep and penetrating themes, whilst others like 'Our Romance at Sea' are much lighter. If you're looking for a gift, travel or bedtime reading, then why not take a look at 'Long and Short Australian Stories'.
