The actual contents of the free and the one dollar Kindle editions include: How to Tell a Story The Wounded Soldier The Golden Arm Mental Telegraphy Again The Invalids Story "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offences" and "Traveling With a Reformer" do not appear in this edition, in either the free or the $1.00 edition, despite the editorial comment to the contrary. The wonderful Fenimore Cooper essay is available online several places for free; see the second Comment for a link to UVA's collection. There are at least two Kindle versions for a buck or so: The Literary Offenses of Fenimore Cooper $1.00. Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offences $.99 Nonetheless, this is still a very interesting collection, especially if you read aloud to children or adults.

I only claim to know how a story ought to be told, for I have been almost daily in the company of the most expert story-tellers for many years." A joy to read, silently or aloud, and the price is right. Robert C. Ross 2009
