Storyteller: Short Stories by Australian Writers, compiled by Ann Granat. |
Cover has a gray border around an inset painting of a many-branched tree, one of the branches of which turns into a (ghostly?) woman’s face; slightly in the background is a white bird which seems to radiating golden light (a phoenix?) sitting atop a red device that is probably meant to be some sort of throne or altar but which looks to me like nothing so much as a large red perfume bottle.

The Strand Magazine was the leading UK popular fiction magazine, and a major trendsetter, publishing most of the famous writers of its day, in particular A. Conan Doyle (the “Sherlock Holmes” short stories, which set the fashion for series stories, especially those featuring a hero-and-sidekick), Grant Allen, E. W. Hornung, W. W. Jacobs, H. G. Wells, E. Nesbit, Rudyard Kipling, A. E. W. Mason, Anthony Hope, O. Henry, P. G. Wodehouse. It was edited by Herbert Greenhough Smith (1891-1930) and Reeves Shaw (1930-Sep. 1941) although the only editor listed from the beginning until his death in June 1910 was George Newnes. |
