The volume contains all 41 of Eudora Welty's published stories.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Stories are as good in themselves and as influential on the aspirations of others as any since Hemingway's. The breadth of Welty's offering is finally most visible not in the variety of types--farce, satire, horror, lyric, pastoral, mystery--but in the clarity and solidity and absolute honesty of a lifetime's vision.

Her first collection of stories, A Curtain of Green, won critical praise, as did subsequent collections The Wide Net and Other Stories, The Golden Apples, and The Bride of the Innisfallen and Other Stories.
