As most of the short stories in this collection do, ‘The Doll’s House’ ends with a surprise. In the final scene, we see the poor
little girls, who are ignored by everyone, with happy smiles on their faces. This surprising turn of events gives the reader a clear
understanding of what is important in the story. Readers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries enjoyed a clever
twist.

The stories were written by well-known writers from Britain, Ireland, New Zealand and the United States, and this collection
presents the short story at its best. A number of the writers represented here Katherine Mansfield, Edgar Allan Poe and W.
Somerset Maugham are known above all for their short stories; others are more famous for their plays and novels.
