Collected Stories of William Faulkner

This volume presents forty-two of William Faulkner's short stories that have for some time been unobtainable. All of the stories from his first collection, These 13 (1931), are included; and from Doctor Martino and Other Stories (1934) all but two (The Hound and Smoke later became parts of The Hamlet and Knight's Gambit, respectively). In addition, there are seventeen stories which, thought they have all appeared in magazines (1932-1948), have not been previously a part of any of Mr. Faulkner's books. (front flap)
