Global Tales

Stories from Many Cultures

Selected and edited by Beverley Naidoo, Chris Donovan and Alun Hicks

These sixteen tales by new and internationally-known writers reveal the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of writing in English today. The stories engage and challenge as well as offering a variety of forms, settings, contexts, characters, themes and language. A truly multicultural collection.

"I love this book of short stories, beautifully written, carefully selected, fruitfully placed alongside each other. The stories will open up aspects of the wider world to anyone who reads them...The editors have provided very valuable notes on the authors, and ways of working with the stories... A must for the school library, and every English department should have a set." - The School Librarian, UK
