I was in a discussion with friends about our favorite short stories and there wasn’t a single person who could come up with an absolute favorite. We had to narrow it down to a favorite by different authors. I have six stories here and have already broken the choices up by having one of the authors with two stories, the others with one each. I love many other authors and more stories by the authors here though.
James White—Custom Fitting—A British tailor has a client preparing to be presented to the Queen.
Saki/H.H. Munro—The Interlopers—Not the happy ending I like
—Tobermory—I liked this story so much I named a cat of my own for the title character.
Robert Heinlein—The Man Who Traveled in Elephants—A fantasty, not his usual scifi, and a wonderful ending.
Spider Robinson—True Minds—I got my ratty paperback copy that has this story signed by the author.
O. Henry—A Retrieved Reform—Most people remember this author for The Gift of the Magi, but I like this one best.
