HUCKLEBERRY by FRANK STOCKTON A TALE OF RIDDLES

1001 Classic Short Stories & Tales ·

2025/08/06

Frank Stockton not only gave us some great short stories but also some very well-loved children's tales. Frank Stockton (1854 - 1902) was an American writer and humorist, best known for his allegorical fairy tales for all ages. Rather than moralizing, he tended to poke fun at qualities like greed, violence, and abuse of power. The Lady, or the Tiger?, his most famous story (published in 1882), offers a compelling choice for the reader because there is no right answer. It is a fascinating

Another great western short story by cowboy author Andy Adams telling of a rancher who had worked for years to build a good ranch with his own brand of horses- who suddenly has an old judgement come up against him- forcing the local sheriff to take horses as collateral. In Texas, where this story happens, justice often triumphed over the law- and this was a good example. Lawmen had to know when to work by the letter of the law and when not to.

THE JELLYBEAN by F.SCOTT FITZGERALD

2025/05/18

The story was written as a sequel to “The Ice Palace,” and Clark Darrow appears in both. The omniscient narrator, who ensures that close observation is paid to Powell’s story, draws in the reader. The opening line – “Jim Powell was a Jelly-bean”- labels the protagonist immediately, and as a character he remains within the stereotype Fitzgerald indicates, though he almost manages to break free. The history of Powell’s life presents a tale of a family fallen on hard times. Powell is humiliated by
