Genre Connection
Short story is a form of literature that is written in narrative form. Short story came into existence in the 17th century, although its origins are in ancient story telling tradition. Short stories focus on a small number of characters with a self-contained incident that focuses on evoking a single effect. Short stories have all the elements, but to a lesser degree of a novel. Short stories can be funny, dramatic, romantic, tragicomedic or satiric. There is no set length for short stories. Some of the examples of famous short stories are:
The Necklace by Guy De Maupassant
Diamond as Big as Ritz by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The Country of the Blind by H. G. Wells
