The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the novel, but it is an art in itself. To take a story and distill its essence is not an easy task. Many try and many fail. In this series we look at short stories from many of our most accomplished writers. In this volume we examine some of the short stories of William Makepeace Thackeray.
The great author of Vanity Fair and The Luck Of Barry Lyndon was born in India in 1811. After returning to England at a young age, he was educated at private boarding schools and entered Trinity College at Cambridge. Though he found he established a career later in life, his success in his time was second only to Dickens. In this volume we hear some of his shorter works: "On Some Dinners At Paris," "On Some Old Customs Of The Dinner Table," and "Mrs. Perkins's Ball."
